  Sounds like the CFP holds all the cards in this one. Would be fun though to see the Rose Bowl not cave in and maintain its party line.

    That a single bowl game would be able to hold up a billion dollar deal which will hopefully benefit all 131 member schools.,,

    They could for the next two years, but then be left with no contract in the new CFP world (12-team playoff) and have to try to negotiate deals with conferences (PAC12/B1G) which will follow the money of the CFP and get in line rather than committing their top (or replacement) teams to the Rose Bowl just for tradition’s sake. Money, unfortunately, will ruin it, so Rose will need to comprimise and move their bowl game time, or even occassionally, the date, to accomadate if they hope to survive relatively intact with top level teams (NY6/CFP) going forward.

  Sounds like they are going to ride the line of “tradition” to irrelevance just like some of the PAC-12 presidents! Very fitting.

  I would be a fan of moving the LA playoff game to the Rams stadium.
  
  The rose bowl stadium is so dated it’s painful. I was sure thinking about tradition when I could barely feel my legs after the game last year.
