The devastating news was delivered earlier this week that ReliaQuest is the new sponsor of the previously known Outback Bowl. Outback had moved on months ago, but this makes the change officially official.

ReliaQuest Bowl is the new name for the former Outback Bowl. Outback ended its title sponsorship & the bowl had been renamed the Tampa Bay Bowl for the past 3 months

Any college football fan would agree that the Outback Bowl was right up there with the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl when it comes to the most recognizable bowls on the oversaturated slate.

The first Outback Bowl took place on New Year’s Day in 1996 when Penn State beat up on Auburn, 43-14. Penn State played in last year’s Outback Bowl as well losing to Arkansas 24-10.

I'm torn. This is a horrible name for a bowl that will be worth mocking for a long time, which makes it a great name. At the same time, the Outback Bowl deserves so much better. https://t.co/624HZ3kvnv
