The San Diego-based Poinsettia Bowl, where the Boise State football team has played twice with mixed success, is dropping the game, organizers announced Wednesday.
“College football and the bowl game structure has gone through major changes through the years and our board feels the time is right to focus our efforts on one postseason game,” Mark Neville, executive director of the San Diego Bowl Game Association, said in a released statement.
The association will continue to host the Holiday Bowl.
A Mountain West team has played in the Poinsettia Bowl for five straight seasons, including Boise State’s 55-7 victory over Northern Illinois in 2015.
