Orange Bowl drops ACC ties widening at large
The Orange Bowl Committee voted to not renew its contract with the Atlantic Coast Conference. From 1954 to 1958 the bowl paired ACC champions with Big Eight teams on New Year’s Day, but now may select opponents from any region. The move, supported by major radio and television networks, seeks broader matchup options for the bowl’s 25th anniversary in 1959.
