The Yankee Bowl looks less like an idea and more like a certainty every day now. As for the matchup…

The bowl would involve a team from the Big East, most likely its third- or fourth-place team, and the seventh-place team from the Big 12.

“We’ve been in discussion with the Yankee organization for the past couple of months about the possibility of having a bowl game at Yankee Stadium,” Carparelli said. “For us, the concept of having a home bowl in the center of our geography is something that we’ve never had before.”
