Cotton, Holiday bowls ready for Big 12 teams
The Associated Press
DALLAS—The Cotton and Holiday bowls have linked together in an agreement that gives them access to teams from the Big 12, Pac-10 and Western Athletic conferences, as well as an opportunity to host Notre Dame.
The three-year agreement with a three-year renewal option was announced Tuesday evening. It expands the Holiday Bowl's postseason options while preserving the Cotton Bowl's tradition as a host for home teams.
The Cotton Bowl, which historically has featured the champion of the soon-to-be-dissolved Southwest Conference, this year lost a bid to keep a top New Year's Day television slot during a realignment of bowls by conference commissioners.
John Crawford, president of the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association, said he was pleased to secure the relationship with the Big 12, which is
currently the Big Eight but in 1996 will absorb Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech from the SWC.
This season's Cotton Bowl, which will pit the SWC champion against a team from the Bowl Coalition, will be televised by NBC.
For the 1966 game, the Cotton Bowl will have its choice of the SWC runner-up or Big Eight runner-up against the WAC champion or Pac-10 runner-up. The Holiday Bowl will get the two teams not chosen by the Cotton.
When the four SWC teams merge with the Big Eight in 1996 to form the Big 12, the Cotton will get the new conference's runner-up against either the WAC champion or Pac-10 runner-up.
In the Holiday Bowl, the Big 12 No.3 team would play the remaining team not chosen by the Cotton.
The selection process doesn't begin until the bowl alliance has chosen teams for its three bowl games. If the WAC champion or Pac-10 runner-up,
which normally would be available to the Cotton or Holiday bowls, is chosen as an at-large entry to one of the three top bowl games, the Cotton and Holiday would have the option of selecting Notre Dame if it's left out of the bowl alliance games.
WAC commissioner Karl Benson called the move a "home run" for his conference.
"It allows us to maintain our 15-year history with the Holiday Bowl while at the same time establishes a partnership with one of the country's most prestigious bowls, the Cotton Bowl."
Earlier Tuesday, the Copper Bowl announced a two-year agreement that will pit this season's third choice from the WAC against the Big Eight's fourth-place team in the sixth Copper Bowl on Dec. 29 at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Ariz.
Next year, the second choice from the WAC will play in the Copper Bowl.
