MWC might get fifth bowl

The Rocky Mountain Bowl in Salt Lake City is seeking NCAA certification, which could occur by April 29. It would pit an MWC team against a Western Athletic Conference squad.

“We are optimistic,” MWC commissioner Craig Thompson said. “For the past three seasons, the MWC has had five teams bowl-eligible. We’ve had to depend upon the system for vacancies and have had to work creatively to find slots for our fifth team.”
