Silicon Valley Football Classic
- Silicon Valley Football Classic
The Silicon Valley Football Classic, sometimes referred to simply as the Silicon Valley Bowl or Silicon Valley Classic, was an NCAA-certified Division I-A post-season college football bowl game that was played at Spartan Stadium on the South Campus of San José State University in San Jose, California, from 2000 to 2004. It had a contractual tie-in with the Western Athletic Conference throughout its history; starting in 2003, it had a second tie-in with the Pac-10.
On April 20, 2005, it was announced that the game's license would not be renewed by the NCAA and the Postseason Football Licensing Subcommittee. The 2004 game was a financial failure, with factors (including a driving rainstorm, geographically distant schools, an improvised matchup of two low-profile teams due to not having eligible candidates in the WAC and PAC-10, and other bad press) contributing to its decision. It didn't help that the two conference tie-ins (PAC-10 and WAC) never made the game a success even when they did fill their bids (poor tv ratings, low attendances, etc.) It was replaced by the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego, California.
