"The legacy of the Rose Bowl" can mean a lot of different things to people, but if any of it is rooted in what brought the PAC-12 and the B1G together after World War II (seeing eye-to-eye on things like "African Americans should be allowed to play"), then you're taking the first steps towards joining me as a booster of the Greater B1G: America's bulwark against the SEC.
The Rose Bowl died with the BCS. Instead of being Tiger Bait in the 2002 Sugar Bowl, the Illini & Oregon were the first Big Ten and Pac 10/12 champions to not play in the Rose Bowl in 2002. Since then there have been only 7 seasons that have had the champions of the Big Ten and Pac 10/12 square off in the Rose Bowl.
scUm and OSU should play last weekend of the year since they have since 1935. Certain games should be played certain weekends ie the the red River should be played during the Texas state fair. Other games like Illinois and NW can be played any weekend
Why would that be any different than the B1G having schools on both coasts? Just because they’re called the Atlantic Coast Conference? The Big TEN has 18 schools.. are they universally laughed at for that?

OK. What am I missing here? NDCollege football realignment: Why Notre Dame is pushing for Cal and Stanford to join ACC
Reports that Notre Dame was pushing hard for Cal and Stanford to join the ACC came out Wednesday and left many wondering why. I was among those, but at the end of the day the answer was pretty simp…
Yes, I don’t buy all the media fuss about extra travel adversely affecting student athletes. On a plane when traveling for work I can get decent food, sleep, and catch up on computer work or read. It should be considered an extended study hall for student athletes. This is extra time for coaches to make sure student athletes are staying on top of their scholastic duties. That’s how the business world works so student athletes should consider it part of their educational experience that most other students don’t get to experience.
It'll never happen, but I sometimes wish that too. What a flex move that would be. I'd love it even better if the SEC said no, too. Like, the Power 2 basically just tell ND they're tired of their antics.
The funny part of this article is that if ND agreed to join the ACC, they absolutely would take Stanford and Cal as well.College football realignment: Why Notre Dame is pushing for Cal and Stanford to join ACC

Probably not too far off. If the past is a good judge of future predictions, counting up the number of top 12 teams each conference has had in the final AP poll over the last 10 years, and assuming everyone is in their future conference, you wind up with:
… and yet it still draws over 90,000 live spectators and impressive TV ratings every year. Maybe tweaking some “traditions” will NOT kill the sport.
Right?… and yet it still draws over 90,000 live spectators and impressive TV ratings every year. Maybe tweaking some “traditions” will NOT kill the sport.
The discussion is money. Everything else is noise. If they brought in more than they take they would be in.
Screw the money. I want the conference to start getting women's lacrosse championships.
