Conference USA has reached agreements on deals with six bowl games that will guarantee the league four postseason spots each year for the 2014-19 seasons.

The league also will have other bowl partnerships to announce at a later date.

Under the deals announced Tuesday with the Beef `O' Brady's Bowl in Florida, the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, the Heart of Dallas Bowl, the New Mexico Bowl and the Hawaii Bowl, C-USA will send teams to three of those five games each year. One league team will play in one of the Texas bowls each season.

The league also extended a longstanding agreement with the New Orleans Bowl in the Superdome through the 2109 season. The league has been part of that bowl for nine of its 12 games so far.
