SDCCU is sponsoring a Pac-12 versus Power‑4 bowl that the CW will televise to drive local economic activity and expand the network’s college football slate.
Overview
- Organizers confirmed the 13th SDCCU Poinsettia Bowl will be played at Snapdragon Stadium with a 4:30 p.m. kickoff and a national broadcast on the CW.
- The matchup is set as the Pac-12 against a Power‑4 opponent from the ACC, Big Ten, or Big 12, but specific teams have not yet been selected.
- San Diego County Credit Union returns as title sponsor and said the partnership is intended to bring community benefits and regional economic impact through game-related spending.
