Bowl extends contract with ACC through 2013

Bowl officials announced the extension Thursday. The ACC has had a deal with the Music City Bowl since 2006, and the bowl is set to pick fifth after the BCS selection between 2010 and 2013. The bowl's TV deal is set through 2014.

Commissioner John Swofford says Nashville is a terrific destination for the league's teams and fans with the bowl a great opportunity for the ACC.

This year's Music City Bowl is Dec. 27 and pits the ACC against a Southeastern Conference team.
