Bowl Revision Sought

The Las Vegas Bowl would drop its current conference alignments and increase payouts to $800,000 a team, under a proposal to revamp a game that never caught on with local fans.

The NCAA will be asked next month to approve the new bowl concept, which would match the third-place Western Athletic Conference team against the best available opponent.

The game would be moved from a Thursday night to a Saturday afternoon, and the guarantee for each team would be boosted from $150,000 to $800,000.
