The EagleBank Bowl agreed to extend its contract with the ACC for the 2010-2013 seasons, bowl officials announced Tuesday.
The bowl will maintain its selection from the ACC for all four years. The opponent is Conference USA in 2010, Navy in 2011, Army in 2012 and the Big 12 in 2013. If Navy or Army are not bowl-eligible in their respective years, a team from the Big 12 will be selected in 2011 and from Conference USA in 2012.
“Our relationship with the EagleBank Bowl has been terrific,” ACC commissioner John Swofford said in a prepared statement. “Our teams and fans have the opportunity to experience post-season football in our nation’s capital while facing a quality opponent in historic RFK Stadium. We look forward to growing this partnership in the years ahead.”
RFK Stadium isn't anything to brag about, but the opportunity to play the Big 12 in the postseason in 2013 is great for the conference. First, though, the ACC has to qualify a team for this bowl, which it might not do this season.
