The league announced it will send a team to the newly launched St. Petersburg Bowl, where it will meet a Conference USA opponent. It also guarantees the league will play at least one bowl game in Florida each season. The papajohns.com bowl, which used to be against a C-USA team, will now feature an SEC opponent.</div> Awesome news.
That is very good news I had heard about the new bowl and it being vs CUSA, but I hadn't heard Papa Yucks was going to be against an SEC team
In related news, the BE has vacated the Texas Bowl; C-USA will be the replacement conference to go up against a Big 12 team each year. This leaves the following 6 bowls as guaranteed for the BE: 1) BCS 2) Gator/Sun 3) Meineke 4) St Pete's 5) Papa Johns 6) International
