Good news for the Boca Bowl;

ESPN acquires Miami Beach Bowl, will move it out of Florida

Too close in both time and geography to our Boca Bowl IMHO. Still gonna exist as a Bowl though so good for CUSA, but probably moving game to Texas.

Good. Playing football in a baseball stadium is pretty dumb, IMO. It's not configured to provide the right fan experience.

Here is the expected news - it is now the Frisco Bowl;

Miami Beach Bowl officially moves to Frisco, Texas | CollegeFootballTalk

Not clear that CUSA still has a slot in it from this NBC story.

20,500 seat stadium, SMALL, just slightly bigger than the Bahamas Bowl seating capacity!

It seems the American is still affiliated but the other slot is now "at large" leaving the CUSA/MAC/SunBelt with one less guaranteed Bowl slot. That does not mean a guaranteed slot for the Power 5 either though, they cannot fill their slots anymore with 6-6 teams as the new stronger scheduling rules by the Conferences are putting more losses on their records too! But it WILL allow the Bowl (ESPN) to chooses from Bowl Eligible teams for the opponent.
