re: What will happen to the rose bowl

What appeal is it losing? The rose bowl held college football back for years.

Talking about CFB in general not the Rose Bowl specifically.

And how did it hold CFB back? It PRESERVED college football and its traditions and uniqueness.

But you're getting your wish now...NFL D-League, NIL, NFL-style 8-12 team playoff coming soon...NFC (SEC) vs AFC (Big10)...everyone gets paid, regular season don't matter, all the big boys will make the playoffs, NHL-style.

Rose Bowl didn't ruin anything.. The obsession to crown "A true champion" at all costs (which is antithetical to CFB's heritage and purpose) ruined CFB along with the NIL, Corporate greed, transfer portal (NFL has more restrictions on players jumping ship to ship.)

Its a mess. Maybe the Rose Bowl saw the writing on the wall and for years took a stand as the last good thing we had that reminded us why CFB used to be unique.

Now it's just a garbage minor league, all the traditions have been shuttered for TV greed and Corporate sponsors (which is all the so-called "playoffs" are all about.)

So enjoy your new generic NFL-lite, sponsored by Dr. Pepper and root for your favorite new transfer before he transfers again for more money.

or is it now? Can you tell the difference?
