Reply to comment by Gift_of_Yahweh in TIL: The Mirage Bowl/Coca Cola Classic was an annual College Football Game played in Tokyo, Japan. It was not an official "bowl game" as it was actually a game being relocated during the regular season. by hoosyourdaddyo

Bowl Games are post season, and are not pre scheduled. These games where already scheduled, and moved to Tokyo.

Also, huge money makers. All College Football is at this level but for example the payout for the Rose Bowl and Orange is 35 million dollars. Sugar and Fiesta are 17 million. So massive money for one game and schools try as hard as possible to qualify and win the biggest ones.
