One of the three new bowl games set to kick off in 2015 has decided to hold back until 2016, so there will be 41, not 42 bowl games this fall.

Austin American-Statesman columnist Kirk Bohls reported Tuesday that Austin, which had been approved for a new bowl game this fall along with Tucson and Orlando, will wait until 2016.

Lance Aldridge of Austin Sports Commission tells me Austin will pursue bowl game in 2016, not this year. "We thought it was best to wait." — Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) May 26, 2015

The Austin game had been set to include teams from the Sun Belt Conference and the American Athletic Conference. The Sun Belt, which includes South Alabama and Troy, currently has three bowl tie-ins -- the New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl and the Camellia Bowl.

Austin officials will have to reapply for certification in 2016, but the Austin Sports Commission's Lance Aldridge told Bohls he has "no concerns."

The 2015 bowl lineup will now have slots for 80 teams, not counting the College Football Playoff championship game, which will draw its participants from the winners of the semifinal games.
