There are a lot of bowl games you can turn on and watch once the college football postseason rolls around, but perhaps none of them are as unique as the East-West Shrine Bowl. It’s not a reward for one college team’s season, but rather a last chance for so-called senior “All-Stars” to strut their stuff in front of scouts and executives at the professional level.
It takes place after all the traditional bowls and national champion are crowned and has been played since 1925. It was first known as the East-West Shrine Game but now likes to be known as a bowl.
This year the bowl has released its East-West Shrine Bowl 1000 to highlight the players it feels will go through the scouting process and will be eligible to play in the game this February.
