The NCAA is expected to add three new bowl games to the schedule in the 2020 season, according to college football insiderBrett McMurphy.
One of the new bowl games will likely be at Wrigley Field in Chicago, according to McMurphy's report. That game is set to feature a Big Ten team against an ACC opponent. Myrtle Beach is also likely to host one of the new bowl games, while the location of the third game is not clear.
If the NCAA adds three new bowl games, the total number of postseason games will be a record 43 for FBS teams (including the College Football Playoff). The additional bowl games come at the recommendation of the NCAA's Competition Committee. Here's McMurphy's full report:
