ST. GEORGE — The Dixie Rotary Bowl has been put on hold for at least a year because of the recession.
The Division II bowl game will not be held in 2009. The Rotary Club of St. George decided Monday that it would cost too much to stage this season's event.
The game was first sanctioned in 1986 as a junior college bowl.
Host school Dixie State College moved up to NCAA Division II three years ago and the bowl had an agreement to feature teams from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
