    Big East improves bowl lineup

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Big East has added a bowl ... and improved another.

    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
