DETROIT (AP) --
DETROIT (AP) - The lead organizer of the Little Caesars Pizza
Bowl says he still hopes for the game to have a tie-in with the Big
Ten conference.
Chief Executive George Perles (PER'-less) says Wednesday he
expects to know by next week if the former Motor City Bowl will
reach an agreement with a Big Ten or Big East team to play a
Mid-American Conference school.
Big Ten spokesman Scott Chipman says the conference is still in
talks with bowl officials in Detroit.
The bowl changed its name after Detroit-based Little Caesars
stepped in as sponsor. Games are played at Ford Field, home of the
Detroit Lions.
