DETROIT -- The Motor City Bowl announced Wednesday a four-year extension
with the Big Ten to send a bowl-eligible team to face a Mid-American
Conference team for the game at Ford Field.
The new agreement will send a seventh bowl-eligible Big Ten team to
Detroit, beginning with the 10th Motor City Bowl on Dec. 26, 2006.
The Big Ten has been an affiliate partner with the Motor City Bowl since
2002. The bowl has matched a team from the Big Ten against a MAC team
once, when Bowling Green beat Northwestern in 2003.
