Dates and times have been set for Division I Football Bowl Subdivision matchups after the 2010 season.
For the first time, the committee licensed bowls on a four-year cycle instead of the traditional year-by-year basis. The change aligns the licensing schedule with bowl conference agreements, which are completed on four-year cycles, but allows for an annual review by the committee.
While the NCAA does not administer or operate bowl games, the NCAA authorizes and regulates bowls to ensure student-athlete safety and well-being. The postseason-bowl licensing process preserves the benefits that bowls traditionally provide to sponsoring communities, participating member schools, conferences and student-athletes.
Following are the dates and times of the 35 bowl games for the 2010-11 bowl season:
