According to the ncaa rule book, May 1st is the day the ncaa officially informs all the bowls that they are good to go for the coming season. I wonder if there will be any surprises such as one of the new bowls falling thru the cracks or a rumored but unannounced bowl like the Christmas Bowl in Los Angeles between the MWC and the PAC 12 getting approval. Not sure if there will be any release by the ncaa or not.

I do wonder if the Bahamas group was having trouble, so C-USA bought it to ensure it's certification.
