About Property:
The Hawai'i Bowl is a post-season National Collegiate Athletic Association Football Bowl Subdivision college football bowl game that has been played annually at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii since 2002. Typically played on either Christmas Day or Christmas Eve, the game matches teams from either Conference USA or the Pac-10 vs. WAC member schools. As part of the agreement with the WAC, a "Hawai'i guarantee" allows the University of Hawai'i the Hawai'i Bowl bid, regardless of its standings in the WAC, provided it is bowl eligible and doesn't qualify for the BCS (as it did in 2007). If Hawai'i is not eligible then another WAC member is chosen. However, since Hawai'i is leaving the WAC for the Mountain West Conference in football, it is unclear whether the guarantee or the WAC's bid to this game will be retained.
