The Humanitarian Bowl is a post-season NCAA-sanctioned Division I FBS college football bowl game that has been played annually at 30,000-seat Bronco Stadium on the campus of Boise State University in Boise, Idaho, since 1997. The game currently matches a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference with one from the Western Athletic Conference, typically the conference champion. However, the ACC does not wish to renew the commitment for the year 2009, and there are discussions underway with the Mountain West Conference to participate. [http://www.sltrib.com/ci_9960690]

The game was sponsored by Micron Technology, an Idaho-based manufacturer, from 1999 to 2002 under the name Crucial.com, which sells computer memory upgrades from Micron. The bowl game then briefly had no sponsor for the January 2004 game. In December 2004, the name was changed to the MPC Computers Bowl. MPC Computers was formerly MicronPC, the computer manufacturing division of Micron, but splint from Micron and has no affiliation with Micron. In April 2007, it was announced that the bowl will again be called the Humanitarian Bowl. [http://www.idahostatesman.com/104/story/80015.html] In May 2007, a new bowl sponsor was announced. The bowl's name is now the Roady's Humanitarian Bowl. [http://www.idahostatesman.com/newsupdates/story/86390.html]

It is the longest running cold weather bowl game currently in operation. The payout is $750,000, but teams are required to provide a corporate sponsor, purchase a minimum number of tickets, and stay at a selected hotel for a minimum stay. Because of this, 7-4 UCLA declined an invitation to the Humanitarian Bowl in 2001.
