The Pinstripe Bowl is a NCAA Division I FBS college football bowl game that is held at Yankee Stadium in the New York City borough of The Bronx. The Bowl is organized by the New York Yankees. The bowl is currently affiliated with the Atlantic Coast Conference (until 2019) and Big Ten Conference (until 2021). ESPN has television and radio rights for the game through 2015. The winner of the game is awarded the George M. Steinbrenner Trophy, while the David C. Koch MVP Trophy is awarded to the bowl's most valuable player.〔(History ). Pinstripe Bowl.com. Accessed on January 8, 2014.〕 The Pinstripe Bowl is one of the two FBS bowls held in the Northeast, the other being the Military Bowl. ==History== The "Yankee" bowl was announced by the New York Yankees' then-minority owner Hal Steinbrenner, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, Big East commissioner John Marinatto, and Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe at a Yankee Stadium press conference on September 30, 2009. The last bowl in New York City proper was the Gotham Bowl pitted Miami against Nebraska at the original Yankee Stadium in 1962. The bowl paired the fourth-place team from The American against the seventh-place team from the Big 12 Conference.〔 〕 In the event the Big 12 lacked an eligible team, Notre Dame received its invitation, as happened in 2013.〔 On March 9, 2010, the Yankee bowl official name was announced to be the Pinstripe Bowl with New Era Cap Company agreed to sponsor the bowl for four years while ESPN agreed to broadcast the bowl for six years. The inaugural game was played on December 30, 2010.〔(March 9, 2010). (First Pinstripe Bowl to be held Dec. 30 ). ESPN.com. Accessed on January 8, 2013.〕〔Bennett, Brian. (March 9, 2010). (Put on your pinstripes ). ESPN.com. Accessed on January 8, 2013.〕 With the NCAA certification approved in April 2010, the Pinstripe Bowl is the 35th bowl on the calendar. Initially a matchup between the Big 12 and the Big East (which became The American), the matchup will pit an Atlantic Coast Conference team against a Big Ten team starting in 2014, the same year Rutgers University, a New Jersey university that is the closest FBS school in the NYC area, moves to the Big Ten from The American, and one year after Syracuse University, self-proclaimed as "New York's College Team," moved from the Big East to the ACC. The ACC agreed to a six year deal with the Pinstripe Bowl, and the Big Ten agreed to the alignment for 8 years. The ACC has adopted a tiered system so the same conference position will not necessarily go to the same bowl.〔 (ACC reaches six-year deal with Pinstripe Bowl ). Sports Illustrated.cnn.com. Accessed on January 8, 2013.〕 ESPN.com quoted sources that 3rd through 6th bowl eligible teams would be tiered with the Pinstripe, Belk, Sun, Gator and Music City bowls.〔McMurphy, Brett.
