Mineral Water Bowl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mineral Water Bowl is a college football game hosted in Excelsior Springs, Missouri at Tiger Stadium. From 1947 to 1951, it was a high school bowl game to show case the Excelsior Spring High School team; however, this ended when the Missouri High School Athletic Association disallowed non-sanctioned post-season games, and the bowl was put on hold. In 1954, the game was revived as a small-college game. As of 1957, it was one of 11 NCAA sanctioned bowl games. The bowl game continued until 1975, when declining interest lead to the game being discontinued for a second time. In 1992 the bowl was again revived, this time as a National Junior College Athletic Association bowl game. After 1999, the bowl was reclassified as an NCAA bowl game once again, this time for Division II. Representatives from the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference and Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association are chosen yearly for the game. The top-placing team in each conference not receiving a bid to the NCAA Division II playoffs receives an invitation to compete.
