Alabama will face Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl on December 31 in Tampa, Fla., raising the question: what exactly is ReliaQuest?
ReliaQuest is a cybersecurity company founded in 2007 by Brian Murphy in Tampa. As stated on the company’s website, its mission is to “make security possible.”
“By leveraging the power of our Security Operations Platform — ReliaQuest GreyMatter — along with our security expertise, customers gain enhanced visibility, the ability to confidently automate throughout the security lifecycle, and the means to effectively measure and manage risk for ongoing improvement,” according to the company’s website.
ReliaQuest became the title sponsor of the annual New Year’s week bowl game in Tampa in 2022, replacing the long-time sponsor Outback. The popular steakhouse had previously lent its name to the game, initially known as the Hall of Fame Bowl, from 1996 to 2022.
This will be the third time Alabama and Michigan have faced off in a Tampa bowl game. Michigan won 28-24 in the 1988 Hall of Fame Bowl, while Alabama won 17-14 in the 1997 Outback Bowl.
The 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl kicks off at 11 a.m. on New Year’s Eve at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, with ESPN broadcasting the game live.
