The Arizona State Sun Devils are going bowling this year, though no one is quite sure yet where they will be.

However, one place they won’t go is New Mexico.

“The reality is for us, we’re in the middle of finals during the New Mexico Bowl,” Arizona State athletic director Steve Patterson told Arizona Sports 620’s Doug and Wolf Tuesday. “So we just can’t go there.”

The Gildan New Mexico Bowl is schedules for December 15th.
