NCAA approves three-year halt to new bowl games

[OrangeXtreme]

The NCAA has approved a three-year moratorium on new bowl games.

The NCAA Division I Council's decision comes a year after there were not enough bowl-eligible teams to fill the record 41 postseason games, resulting in a record three teams with losing records earning bowl berths.

The moratorium will not allow any new bowl games until after the 2019 regular season.

SD will still have the Holiday Bowl ... until The Murph closes and they have to move the game to Petco Park.

Does this moratorium include not replacing bowls that go under? Or, is it "41 is the top end and we won't go beyond that"?

No more new bowls for 3 years.

Even if a few existing bowls go under.
