AAC launches Miami Beach Bowl

[Water Pony]

The AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE, in conjunction with Marlins Park, has announced the creation of the MIAMI BEACH BOWL - a groundbreaking event that will bring postseason college football back to Miami.

I like the venue and destination and would love to go, if the Mustangs earn it.

Is the turf actually just sand?

From the press release:

The Miami Beach Bowl will match an American Athletic Conference team against an opponent from either Conference USA, the Sun Belt Conference or the Mid-American Conference.

Great location, but really? "We are proud to announce the Innaugural Who Gives a Crap Bowl brought to you by Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaner."

So much for separating ourselves from the other G5 conferences.

You people would complain if you won the lottery. What a bunch of debbie downers

[SMUfrat]

Positives:

1. we own our own bowl
2. our g5 opponent isnt set for a long period, option to improve

Negatives:
1. no-p5 opponent

BOOOOOOOOO

[LHS81]

Heard it's a rotation of CUSA, Sun Belt, and MAC rotation as an opponent.

[SMU_Alumni11]

Yay? You think the would rotate MWC and CUSA not freaking MAC

[ponyinNC]

bottom line is AAC owns this bowl - that is a pretty big deal. Build it up and it can be a real asset.

The P5 (with espin's help) has completely shut out the G5 - except for a crumb or 2 here or there.

It is what it is.
