For nearly eight (8) decades, the Cotton Bowl has been the shining star of postseason collegiate sports in Texas. The 2018 Cotton Bowl Classic was played on December 29, 2018, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas featuring Clemson University versus the University of Notre Dame. The 83rd Cotton Bowl Classic was a College Football Playoff semifinal with the winner competing in the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship game. Over 72,183 people witnessed an exciting game which Clemson won 30-3. The Cotton Bowl Classic is more than a game, however. Over eight decades, the Classic has given more than $200 million to higher education. The Cotton Bowl also produces many events surrounding the game, including an annual free youth football clinic at AT&T Stadium, childrens hospital visits, band concerts and Hall of Fame ceremonies. When the game week gets here, huge crowds of college football fans converge on North Texas to participate in the festive pre-game activities, and the generous Texas-style hospitality. These enthusiastic visitors generated over $30 million in direct economic impact for the region. Special civic and volunteer committees work year-round to provide the best in hospitality and entertainment for the players, media and the institutions official party. Nearly ten (9.54) million more fans watched game activities on ESPN that included a pre-game spectacular, a half-time extravaganza and some of college footballs finest hours. And no matter the outcome of the game, no matter the year, it is a special and unique event that garners the attention of the nation and keeps the rich tradition of post-season college football in North Texas alive for past, present and future generations. Founded in 1936, the first Cotton Bowl Classic was played January 1, 1937, between Texas Christian University and Marquette University. The Frogs, behind legendary quarterback Sammy Baugh, defeated the Golden Avalanche that day 16-6 before 17,000 spectators at Fair Park Stadium. It was the beginning of a great tradition. The idea for a post-season football classic belonged to the late J. Curtis Sanford, a Dallas oil man, who promoted that first game as a private enterprise and covered expenses with $6,000 out of his own pocket. With an economic depression still gripping the country, and tremors of global unrest becoming more apparent, Sanfords dream of a Texas sports spectacle was deemed unrealistic by many observers. Time has vindicated Sanfords vision. The honor role of gridiron greats who have appeared in the Cotton Bowl through the years include such standouts as: Bo Jackson, Russell Maryland, Troy Aikman, Tim Brown, Chris Spielman, Doug Flutie, Earl Campbell, Bart Starr, Joe Theismann, Joe Montana, Eric Dickerson, Roger Staubach, Doak Walker, Jim Brown, Kenny Stabler, John Cappelletti, Dan Marino, Dicky Maegle, Sammy Baugh, Bryon "Whizzer" White, James Street, Jim Swink, Lance Alworth, Davey OBrien, Bob Lilly, Norm Van Brocklin, Bobby Layne, John Kimbrough, Tommy Nobis, Duke Carlisle, Ernie Davis, Eli Manning and Johnny Manziel. The list of coaches is equally impressive: legends such as Paul "Bear" Bryant, Darrell Royal, General Bob Neyland, Bobby Dodd, Frank Leahy, Jess Neely, Frank Broyles, Bob Devaney, Ara Parseghian, Vince Dooley, Joe Paterno, Gene Stallings, Ben Schwartzwalder, John Robinson, Johnny Vaught, Lou Holtz, Johnny Majors, Lavell Edwards, Mack Brown, Nick Saban, Bob Stoops, Bill Snyder and Les Miles. in 2015, the Cotton Bowl Classic became one of the New Years Six Bowls, along with the Rose, Sugar, Orange, Peach and Fiesta Bowls. These six (6) games are part of the College Football Playoff (CFP), the most prestigious bowls in the post-season. As part of this partnership, five (5) of the six New Years Six Bowls, including the Cotton Bowl, assigns its television and major sponsorship rights to the CFP (the Rose has a separate contract). These rights were bundled and along with a National Championship Game, sold to ESPN for an average of $470 million a year. The portion of the $470 million that is generated by the Cotton Bowl TV and sponsor rights, and in past years would have been given by the Cotton Bowl to the two (2) participating teams as grants, are now distributed to all 128 football Bowl Subdivision schools through the CFP. Either governmental or other 501(c)3 institutions are the ultimate recipients. 11853355 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false true true true false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true true false false true 62 0 true 104 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 98 97 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X MARTY MACINNIS 8178924800 ONE ATT WAY Arlington TX 76011 Carl Baggett Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 W Mike Baggett Director 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Thomas Bain Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Craig Baker Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Read Ballew Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Andrew Barker Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Brian Barnard Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jamie Barton Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mike Berry Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Derrick Boyd Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Gillian Breidenbach Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Roland Burns Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Larry Cantrell Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 David Cole Director 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Betty Crawford Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 John Crawford Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Bill Davis Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Buddy Dike Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Bill Duvall Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Dwyer Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Chad Estis Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Fred Euler Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jeff Fehlis Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Flynn Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Richard Frank Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Bruce Gadd Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 John Gavin Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 jose gutierrez Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mike Henderson Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Terrance Henderson Director 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Adam Herrin Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Elly Holder Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Cindy Hourigan Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kristi Sherrill Hoyl Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Bill Jackman Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Stephen Jones Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mark Keiffer Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Dee Kelly Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Derek Kerr Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ron Kirk Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Chris Kleinert Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Seth Klugherz Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Marcus E Knight Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Lori Lee Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Greg Leftwich Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ross Martin Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Charles Matthews Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Brad Mayne Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Fred McClure Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mike Miles Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Sara Madsen Miller Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Baker Montgomery Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Porter Montgomery Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Craig Moore Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Thomas Morgan Jr Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 John David Moritz Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mark Nickells Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Philip Norwood Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mary Martha Pickens Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jesse Pruitt Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Scott Rogers Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Daniel Routman Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Chris Roy Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Tod A Ruble Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kathy Saunders Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 John Scovell Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 King Scovell Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Brad Sham Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kevin Smart Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 G Stacy Smith Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jim Ray Smith Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Monica Egert Smith Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Robert Smith Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 John Stuart III Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mike Sweet Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Gary Thomas Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 William Toles Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jim Trebilcock Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kelvin Walker Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Alan White Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Blake Wiley Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jeff Williams Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jim Williams Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Derrick Wilson Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Karen Wilson-Torres Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ramsay Woodall Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Larry Young Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 John Zogg Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Robert Watson director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Carl Ice Chairman 5.0 3.0 X X 0 0 0 Jay McAuley Immediate Past Chairman 2.0 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Thomas C Bain Jr Vice Chairman 2.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Dave Brown Vice Chairman 2.0 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Bryant H Patton Vice Chairman 2.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 J J Gomez Vice Chairman 2.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Dan Novakov Past Chairman/Legal Council 2.0 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Finley Ewing III Playoff Comm.
