The agreements, which are effective immediately and will impact the 2008 and 2009 bowl games, call for teams with winning records (7-5 or better) from the Sun Belt Conference to be the first available teams in these bowls should the contracted parties not be able to fulfill their requirements. The NCAA only allows a secondary tie-in for teams better than .500. While the Sun Belt Conference champion will still play in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the St. Petersburg Bowl or the Papajohns.com Bowl will have second choice to select one of the Sun Belt’s bowl-eligible teams if the contracted parties are not be able to fulfill their requirements. The St. Petersburg Bowl will play its inaugural game Dec. 20 at Tropicana Field and is scheduled to pit teams from the Big East and Conference USA. The 2008 Papajohns.com Bowl is scheduled to feature teams from the Big East and Southeastern Conference and will be played Dec. 29 at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala. Both games are owned and operated by ESPN Regional Television, Inc., a subsidiary of ESPN. The agreement signed with the Independence Bowl calls for that bowl game to receive the third choice to select one of the Sun Belt’s bowl eligible teams if the contracted parties are not able to fulfill their requirements. The Independence Bowl would also receive the second choice to select a Sun Belt bowl eligible team should the St. Petersburg Bowl or the Papajohns.com Bowl not have an opening. The game is scheduled to have a team from the Southeastern Conference and Big XII and will be played Dec. 28 at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, La. The agreements with the St. Petersburg Bowl, the Papajohns.com Bowl, and the Independence Bowl are for two years, beginning with the 2008 bowl games.

    For Immediate Release: December 11, 2012 Contact: Al Carbone (203) 671-4421 Follow us on Twitter @WalterCampPR Former NFL All-Pro Derrick Brooks Named Walter Camp Alumni Award Recipient Former Florida State and Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker will be honored on January 12 NEW HAVEN, CT – Former NFL All-Pro linebacker Derrick Brooks (Florida State University) is the recipient of the 2012 Walter Camp “Alumni Award.” Brooks joins a distinguished list of former “Alumni Award” winners, including Alan Page (Notre Dame), Bo Jackson (Auburn), Tony Dorsett (Pittsburgh), Herschel Walker (Georgia), Mark May (Pittsburgh) and last year’s recipient, Chris Spielman (Ohio State). The Walter Camp “Alumni of the Year” award is bestowed on a worthy individual who has distinguished himself in the pursuit of excellence as an athlete, in his personal career and in doing good works for others. He must be an individual who has exhibited dedication and good moral conduct in achieving success. He must be a compassionate and unselfish person who contributes his time and assistance in helping to encourage and comfort fellow human beings less talented and less fortunate than himself. He must be an individual who takes pride in having been a Walter Camp All-American. “We are pleased to recognize Derrick Brooks with the Walter Camp Alumni Award,” Foundation president John Marks said. “Derrick’s exceptional results on the football field pale in comparison to his charity work and advocacy of the value of education for young people.” A native of Pensacola, FL, Brooks played scholastically at Washington High School and was named to Florida’s “All-Century Team” as one of the Top 33 players in the state’s 100-year history of high school football.
