on a pod I heard it was ACC trying to force ND into joining and B1G/PAC Rose Bowl keeping expansion from happening right now
You think we ever got one? PSU doesn't have the most positive feelings towards the Rose Bowl. Having to play Oregon in it in '94 cost us a shot at the national title. Didn't get to play in it in '05 because of the title game so so much for it being some big prize for the conference champion. I went to the most recent one against USC. Nice setting but college football doesn't need to coddle them and work the CFP around them.
Maybe he wants ESPN let us out of that ridiculous acc contract as long we agree to a playoff expansion.
I’m actually a big fan of the ACC presidents after today. Despite lying about not trying to force NDs hands, I actually agree with all of their points regarding the NCAA having far bigger fish to fry right now than Playoff Expansion (ie. NIL, Transfer Portal, etc). They’re also the only conference seemingly listening to player feedback on expanded scheduling.
Yes, he caused a bunch of disruption and made plays. Also, he had severe pneumonia after he had Covid last year. He said in an interview he couldn't even walk up the stairs without being out of breath. It messed up his whole spring and couldn't lift in the summer. It's amazing he made 3rd team all-conference this year. Dump has no idea what he's talking about, except his team was afraid to play WF.
Logistically the Rose Bowl sucks ass and I would avoid it at all costs. Also, to note I live 45+ mins away and parking sucks and it takes at minimum to leave if you park on the golf course. Even more so, the two national championship games I went to at the RB the teams I was rooting for lost at the last second. Fuck you Texas and Florida State.
The Rose Bowl has the worst lines I have ever seen at any sporting event ever. For being around as long as it has, I really thought they would have better efficiency.
