One new bowl received certification, 27 others were recertified and one bowl was decertified for the 2003-04 season this week by the NCAA Football Certification Subcommittee.

The Fort Worth Bowl is new for 2003. Universities representing the Big 12 Conference and Conference USA are scheduled to compete in the Fort Worth Bowl on Dec. 23, 2003.

"The Fort Worth Bowl organization came to us very well prepared with conference and television commitments, as well as good facilities and support from its community," said Penn State athletic director Tim Curley, who also is chair of the Football Certification Subcommittee.

Twenty-seven bowls have been recertified for 2003: Alamo Bowl, AXA Liberty Bowl, Capital One Bowl, Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, FedEx Orange Bowl, GMAC Bowl, Hawaii Bowl, Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, Houston Bowl, Humanitarian Bowl, Insight Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Mainstay Independence Bowl, Motor City Bowl, Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, New Orleans Bowl, Nokia Sugar Bowl, Outback Bowl, Continental Tire Bowl, Rose Bowl, Diamond Walnut San Francisco Bowl, Silicon Valley Classic, SBC Cotton Bowl Classic, Tangerine Bowl, Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Toyota Gator Bowl and the Wells Fargo Sun Bowl.

The committee did not recertify the Seattle Bowl because of financial issues and failure to adhere to administrative requirements. </I>
