LA Bowl ending after Saturday's game with Washington and Boise State
The LA Bowl will end after Saturday’s game between Washington and Boise State, sources told On3.
The bowl’s current 6-year contract concludes after this season. The bowl was created in 2020 to be played in SoFi Stadium, pairing up the Mountain West champion against the fifth selection from the Pac-12.
The bowl’s fate was ultimately decided when conference realignment gutted the Pac-12 and the league lost 10 schools to the Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC.
The bowl was scheduled to debut in 2020, but three weeks before its inaugural game, it was canceled due to COVID-19.
