Bowl bound

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) today announced the addition of five new college football bowl games, bringing the total number of post-season games to 192. For the first time, every U.S. college will be making an appearance in a bowl game.

According to a press release, “The NCAA board has decided that, since today’s college students grew up in an era in which children received trophies simply for showing up, it makes sense to give every college football player the opportunity to say he or she has played in a bowl. Selling the title sponsorship rights of these new games also generates revenues the NCAA can use to create awareness of college athletics and to support other important endeavors."

Here are the new bowl games and the teams that will be competing in each:

Chia Pet Bowl (Jan. 11, Lifetime)

University of Northern South Dakota 0-9

University of Southern North Dakota 0-10
