San Diego is trying to re-start the Poinsette Bowl, and match the new PAC 12 champion against the MW champion. They do not have a sponsor yet, but it would be at the beginning of the Bowl season, not toward the end of the Bowl season. In addition, Fox floated having the Holiday Bowl in Saudi Arabia this coming year, and it was Phillips that said no thanks. The dollar figures for that game were not released, but oversees games generally pay a pretty good chunk of money. Also, the Holiday matchup was set to be an ACC team against a "former" PAC 12 team, and that presents problems on the matchup. The old PAC bowl tie ins continue to be a problem. I believe Yormark would want to play in a Bowl game on the other side of the pond, especially with the way those games tend to pay out.
