History
In 2013, officials of the Mid-American Conference and the Sun Belt Conference first met with officials of the War Memorial Stadium Commission on the possibility of hosting a bowl game at War Memorial Stadium. The bowl game would be called the Rice Bowl.[1] [2] In 2015, officials of the American and Sunbelt Conferences were finalizing plans to have the bowl game approved by the NCAA.[3] On April 11, 2016, the NCAA announced a freeze on new bowl games until after the 2019 season.[4]
