Poinsettia Bowl folds, BYU football looking for new bowl contract

BYU football was going to compete in the 2017 Poinsettia Bowl. Just like the Cougars did this year.

Not anymore.

The San Diego Bowl Game Association announced Wednesday morning that the Poinsettia Bowl is ending. The group’s plan is to focus on staging the Holiday Bowl each season.

Mark Neville, executive director of the San Diego Bowl Game Association made a statement this morning.

“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,” Neville said.
