The Alamo Bowl, formerly known as Builders Square Alamo Bowl and others adopted Valero Energy as a sponsor in 2007. Initially tied to the Southwest Conference, it faced disruptions after the SWC's demise in 1995. In 1996, Iowa Hawkeyes paid tribute by donning plain black helmets in memory of a player's deceased mother.

Alamo Bowl Sponsorship and Broadcasting Rights

The Valero Alamo Bowl, aired on ESPN since its inception, holds eight of ESPN's top 20 most-watched bowl games. Valero Energy Corporation extended its title sponsorship for four more years, emphasizing community support. Valero's backing since 1993 aligns with its role as an essential San Antonio entity.
