INSIGHT BOWL

The 'Insight Bowl' is an NCAA-sanctioned Division I-A post-season American college football bowl game played in Arizona since 1989. From 1989 to 1999, the games were played at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Starting in 2000, the game moved to Bank One Ballpark, now known as Chase Field, in Phoenix. The game moved yet again effective with the 2006 game, but remained in the Phoenix metropolitan area, this time to Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. The 2006 game saw another change, with the television rights going to the NFL Network, replacing ESPN.
The game was formerly known as the 'Copper Bowl' from 1989 until 1996 when sponsorship and naming rights were assumed by Insight Enterprises and it became the 'Insight.com Bowl' (1997 to 2001), and then the Insight Bowl. It featured teams from the Big East and Pac 10 until 2005. Starting in 2006, the Insight Bowl will feature an annual matchup between teams from the Big Ten and the Big 12.
The 2006 game saw the biggest comeback in NCAA Division I-A postseason history, as Texas Tech came back from a 38-7 third-quarter deficit to defeat Minnesota 44-41 in overtime.
