Quote Coinciding with profound changes probably imminent in college football's bowl system but largely driven by Mizzou's impending move to the Southeastern Conference, the St. Louis Sports Commission is exploring the feasibility of creating a bowl game in St. Louis. The ideal, Sports Commission president Frank Viverito said Tuesday, would be a game matching opponents from the SEC and Big Ten — leagues that St. Louis is well-accessible between. "If we were able to produce a wish-list game, that would be the one," said Viverito, who reiterated an interest in the SEC basketball tournament and other potential endeavors with the conference and added, "If the SEC is making a commitment to the University of Missouri, then this is a market we would like to help them develop for the league...."

It seems to me this is just the Big-10 trying to sell themselves as on-par with the SEC. "HELLO, Big-10. YOU'RE NOT A QUALITY OPPONENT."

Also, with larger conferences, the SEC (and Big10 now 12) should have more bowl eligible teams. |
