The possibility of the financially strapped Houston Bowl being played this year is a "50-50 proposition," Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said Monday. The Houston Bowl is without a title sponsor and television deal, and owes a portion of its $1.2 million payout to the Big 12 and Mountain West conferences for playing in last year's game at Reliant Stadium. The NCAA bowl certification committee has set a deadline for the end of June to decide the six-year-old bowl's fate. | |||
