An announcement show with New Era Pinstripe Bowl participants -- the University of Wisconsin and the University of Miami -- will take place Tuesday, Dec. 4, at 11 a.m. ET, in the Press Conference Room at Yankee Stadium. Officials from both schools, the New York Yankees and the New Era Pinstripe Bowl will be available to discuss the event.
Wisconsin, led by head coach Paul Chryst, will be making its 17th consecutive bowl game appearance, the longest active streak in the Big Ten and fifth-longest active streak in the FBS. The Badgers finished the regular season at 7-5 (5-4, Big Ten), and will be making their first appearance in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl and at Yankee Stadium. Under Chryst's leadership, Wisconsin is 3-0 in bowl games.
Miami is guided by head coach Mark Richt, who led his alma mater to a 7-5 record (4-4, ACC) in his third season at the helm. The Hurricanes will be making their sixth consecutive bowl game appearance and first appearance in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl and at the current Yankee Stadium. The Hurricanes played once at the original Yankee Stadium, in the 1962 Gotham Bowl, losing to Nebraska, 36-34.
The announcement show will air live on the YES Network and will also be streamed live at www.pinstripebowl.com.
Media members wishing to attend the announcement show must apply for credentials through the New Era Pinstripe Bowl Media Relations office by emailing their request to [email protected] by 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 4.
