The Valero Alamo Bowl has teamed up with Bank of Texas as its presenting sponsor of the Game of the Week digital content series and the Touchdowns for Financial Literacy initiative.
As part of this collaboration, Bank of Texas will contribute $125 for every touchdown scored in the featured Game of the Week matchups during the 2025 season. These contributions will directly benefit the Valero Alamo Bowl Scholarship Program, which annually awards more scholarships than any other bowl game in the country.
Through this partnership, Bank of Texas will fund two $7,500 scholarships awarded to deserving San Antonio-area high school seniors—part of the 170+ scholarships and $1.26 million awarded by the Bowl this year.
“Supporting education and financial literacy aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Parker Hensley, Bank of Texas Market President. “We’re excited to team up with the Valero Alamo Bowl to invest in the futures of local students while celebrating the excitement of college football.”
Since the program’s inception in 2000, the Valero Alamo Bowl has awarded $12 million to 1,919 high-achieving students, and this new initiative with Bank of Texas will expand those opportunities while inspiring the next generation of leaders in San Antonio.
The first Game of the Week presented by Bank of Texas will feature #22 Iowa State vs. #17 Kansas State in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic on Saturday, Aug. 23.

The organization has produced 32 bowl games and served as the local host for 11 neutral site games. The 32 Valero Alamo Bowl games have combined to deliver nearly $1.2 billion in total economic impact to San Antonio, 173 million viewers on ESPN/ABC, 1.87 million attendees to the Alamodome, and $174+ million to higher education through team payouts ($162+ million) and local scholarships ($12+ million).
The 2024 Valero Alamo Bowl featuring #17 BYU and #23 Colorado featured a capacity crowd of 64,261 and 8 million viewers watching on ABC, #1 viewership in the event’s history and tops among non-CFP/NY6 games since the 2019-20 Citrus Bowl between Michigan and Alabama. The game also generated a total economic impact of $59 million for San Antonio, the second highest total all-time.
