GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -The Atlantic Coast Conference will send teams to the Sun and Independence bowls starting next year.
The league said Thursday it renewed six bowl deals and reached agreements with two others for the four-year period from 2010-13.
The El Paso, Texas-based Sun Bowl matches a Pac-10 team against either the ACC’s title-game loser or its third selection after the Bowl Championship Series. The Shreveport, La.-based Indepedence Bowl pits the league’s sixth post-BCS selection against the Mountain West’s No. 3 pick.
The league also extended deals with the Orange, Chick-fil-A, Champs Sports, Meineke, Music City and EagleBank bowls. If an additional ACC team is eligible, the conference will conditionally send its eighth post-BCS pick to San Francisco’s Emerald Bowl.
