FAYETTEVILLE — The Southeastern Conference has added two bowls and dropped the Independence Bowl from its postseason affiliations.
The league has partnered with the Las Vegas Bowl for three seasons between 2020-24 and with the Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa, Fla., each year between 2020-25.
Beginning in 2020, the Las Vegas Bowl will move into the city’s new NFL stadium that will be home to the Raiders. The Gasparilla Bowl is played at Raymond James Stadium, home to the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The SEC partnership with the Independence Bowl will end after the upcoming season.
The SEC has also cut back on the number of years it will send a representative to the Belk Bowl, from annually to each odd-numbered year between 2021-25.
