The new Big Ten bowl lineup will run concurrently with the latest Bowl Championship Series (BCS) contract, which will expand to five games during the 2006-09 seasons and provide two additional at-large berths each year.
Beginning with the 2006 season, the Big Ten will kick off a week-long celebration of college football in Orlando, as the league will take part in the Champs Sports Bowl during the final week of December and the Capital One Bowl in January. The Big Ten has never taken part in the Champs Sports Bowl, which was known as the Tangerine Bowl from 2001 to 2003 upon its move to Orlando. The event was previously held in Miami, Fla., from its inception in 1990 as the Blockbuster Bowl to its final year in Miami in 2000 as the Micronpc.com Bowl, when North Carolina State edged Minnesota.
The Insight Bowl is the latest addition to the Big Ten bowl lineup and will feature a contest against a Big 12 foe. With the annual event moving to Tempe beginning in 2006, the conference will have it’s first-ever bowl game tie-in with the state of Arizona. Previously known as the Copper Bowl from its inception in 1989 through 1996, Big Ten teams are 2-0 in this event with victories by Indiana in 1991 and Wisconsin in 1996.
