With a NCAA moratorium on creating new bowl games ending after this season and smaller conferences finding themselves increasingly left out of discussions with the power leagues, the “Group of Five” is looking across the country – and world – for some new bowl locales.

According to Brett McMurphy at ESPN, the MAC, Sun Belt, Conference USA, American Athletic Conference (the new Big East) and Mountain West are working to create more bowl games so that all of their eligible teams have postseason landing spots. With the current bowls tied into deals with bigger conferences, it’s the Louisiana Techs of the world that get left out when the music stops.

What locations are the smaller conferences considering for 2014 bowls?

If they can't even break even spending a week in Boise or El Paso then how in the hell are they going to justify spending a week across the ocean?

This is a fabricated problem. Every season we wonder if we're going to have enough teams with 6 wins to fill the bowl slots.
