The Big Ten and the Detroit Lions have announced a six-year agreement to play a bowl game at Ford Field, with the Atlantic Coast Conference expected to provide the opponent.

The new bowl will start in 2014 and it has not been named or sponsored.

In May, ESPN reported the Lions were expected to create and operate the new bowl game at Ford Field. The new bowl game would eliminate the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl after this season, sources told ESPN's Brett McMurphy.
