The East-West Shrine Bowl, the nation’s oldest college football all-star game, is partnering with the NFL and moving the event to Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium as part of NFL Pro Bowl week. The game will be Thursday, February 3rd, in primetime, on NFL Network.

that was my thoughts... what could possibly go wrong with sending a shit load of 21-22 year olds to vegas on their first "work" trip?  agents have to be shitting themselves over this move.

Perhaps they are trying to make it easier for the Raiders to actually scout potential draftees.

From a marketing standpoint,I like this move. The East/West Shrine game has always been a little brother to the Senior Bowl. Moving it up to Feb. 3 in conjunction with the Pro Bowl will give it a higher profile.
