The Big Ten has announced a new bowl lineup starting next season, with most of the shake-up coming at the bottom. The first new bowl is the Texas Bowl in Houston, with a Big 12 opponent. I wonder what airline tickets from Minneapolis to Houston go for? Or Minneapolis to Dallas, for something called the Dallas Football Classic versus a Conference USA team. Ugh.
