The bowl game that gave us "classics" Cincinnati-Western Michigan (2007), Rutgers-Ball State (2008), UConn-Buffalo (2009) and South Florida-Northern Illinois (2010), is now a thing of the past.The International Bowl announced it would be closing its doors after the bowl failed to renew its deal with the Big East.
So what did we learn? This should serve as a lesson that nobody wants to go to Canada in the middle of the winter to watch a mediocre BCS conference team play a mid-major. There's a reason that the majority of the bowl games are played in warm-weather locations, it's because fans want a vacation, not a punishment for traveling hundreds of miles to see their team.
This was a situation that was doomed from the start. College football fans should be happy this international incident is a thing of the past.
