Inaugural Irrelevant Bowl Announced For College Football In 2024

Just when you thought we had enough college football bowl games, it looks like we're about to get one more.

Hall of Fame promoter Roy Englebrecht has announced plans for the 1st ever "Irrelevant Bowl" for 2024. Similar to the "Mr. Irrelevant" in the NFL Draft, the Irrelevant Bowl will feature two of the worst teams in college football. If there had been an Irrelevant Bowl played this past December, it would have “featured” 2-10 Vanderbilt facing 1-11 Akron.

The bowl will provide six-figure payouts to the two participating teams, as well as team travel, lodging and meals. If either of the two lowest teams passes on the invitation, the next lowest team will be invited.

Promoters are still searching for a host city.

But what about two teams playing in a bowl game without 6 wins? Englebrecht has that covered, saying, “Knowing that the NCAA has become more flexible with the number of team’s wins to qualify for a bowl, I will petition the NCAA asking them to grant a waiver in 2024 so that two teams would be eligible to play in the inaugural Irrelevant Bowl.”

Now we wait to see if a city puts in a bid that includes covering lodging and meals for the two teams, all stadium expenses, and a $1,000,000 site fee.
