Big Ten Likely to Add Gator Bowl to Bowl Lineup

This would be pretty sweet. 4 January 1 games? That's an upgrade from the Alamo Bowl to me at least.

SWEET!!!

Jacksonville is a crappy town, but Jan 1 beats 12/28 any day of the week.

Certainly the prestige (and money) for adding the Gator Bowl over the Alamo Bowl is nice, but San Antonio is a far better place to visit than Jacksonville. and it was cool having a bowl in Texas (hopefully, they add the one in Houston at least) instead of the bowls being so Florida-centric.

That sounds like a good opportunity

I like the ACC tie in.

I have been to the Gator Bowl (we played an ACC team then) many moons ago and it was a great trip. Warning…it can be pretty cold (it was for us) in Jacksonville. You really have to get to Orlando and south for the Tropical type weather.
