The Myrtle Beach area may be getting a college football bowl game as early as 2020.
According to a report by college football reporter Brett McMurphy, formerly of ESPN, the NCAA’s Competition Committee is recommending three new bowl games be added for the 2020 season. He cites multiple unnamed sources.
McMurphy says the Competition Committee’s recommendations are expected to be approved Tuesday by the NCAA’s Football Oversight Committee.
Coastal Carolina University’s Brooks Stadium on the Conway campus would be the likely host of any bowl game. The stadium expanded to 15,000 seats for the 2017 season and is expected to increase its seating capacity to more than 20,000 for the 2018 season.
