Get ready for the Yankee Bowl.Starting in 2010, teams from the Big East and Big 12 conferences will play in an annual bowl game at the new Yankee Stadium.

The four-year deal will match the Big East’s third or fourth selection against the Big 12’s seventh selection. Notre Dame has agreed to play in the bowl if it’s available and the Big 12 does not have enough bowl-eligible teams.

The game will be played between Christmas and New Year’s Day.

And who am I kidding? It won’t be called the Yankee Bowl. Only some multinational corporation with a big marketing budget knows what it will be called.
