Notre Dame to boycott Rose Bowl?
https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...ll-playoff

Thought I originally saw this on here, but can't find a thread.

"Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Friday that if the Irish are chosen to make the College Football Playoff, they would consider not playing if families are not allowed to attend the semifinal game....

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said it would be a "poor decision" and a "mistake" to keep a playoff venue where parents and families cannot attend.

"It makes no sense to me to put a bunch of kids on a plane and fly them all the way to California to play in an empty stadium," Swinney said. "That makes zero sense when you have plenty of stadiums where you can have fans and, most importantly, you can have families...."


The problem is the Rose Bowl and Los Angeles who are not going to allow any fans. Dabo seems to have some common sense.

Big 10 AD Warren is an idiot and needs to be fired. When people talk about moving it out of the Rose Bowl he talks about a 107 year old tradition.

First, the Big 10/Pac game that started in the 40s went away with the BCS. From 2002 to 2006 there were 4 Big 12 teams, 3 Pac teams, 2 Big 10 and a Big East team. This year its a playoff game so you won't have Big 10/Pac 12. You didn't in 2011 when TCU played Wisconsin or 2015 when Florida St. played Oregon or 2018 when Georgia played Oklahoma.

They didn't even have the Rose Bowl in LA in 1942. It was played in Durham, NC. If not for a late season Texas loss, it would have been played in Austin.

There is no Rose Parade. There are no fans in the stands. There's no week of fans roaming around LA. There is no tradition this year. If LA doesn't want fans in the stands, move it somewhere else.

RE: Notre Dame to boycott Rose Bowl?
If they switch the Rose with another CFP for this season and one season in the future, does that change the tie-ins for this season? Would the Rose be a B1G-PAC bowl or something else?

The state of CA should end this farce and outlaw the game, just like they have outlawed high school football.

Liberal California politicians are moralistic and self righteous about virus, they will not bend - unless its a movie production or has some kind of Woke angle to it.

This would a simply antics for publicity and to minimize animosity, but a subtle statement nonetheless.

If Oregon holds on you get a double whammy with USC getting an At-Large over Coastal!

It would be interesting. I'd kind of guess that they would change the tie-ins.

Assuming Ohio St goes to the CFP, if they did switch then Indiana would become automatic for the Rose Bowl. That would right now knock out Oklahoma/Iowa St loser most likely- definitely if it's Oklahoma.

Playoffs are in Rose and Sugar. There is no additional bid for Big 10 if Ohio St. is in playoffs.

They simply move the Rose to a different stadium. That's the logical solution. And if its the 4 leaders, it ought to be moved into the Central Time Zone. No reason in Covid time for Clemson, Ohio St., Notre Dame and Alabama to fly all the way to California when they can't do any of the normal activities anyway.

Plus Los Angeles is a hot bed. They have the most stringent mask and stay at home declaration but cases are surging. As a Californian let me say our governor is a wanker.

Is Orange forced to take SEC this year? Otherwise they will take Indiana, who probably goes to the Fiesta or Cotton worse comes to worst.

I don't mind if they move out of the Rose Bowl this year but only if the Rose Bowl gets a Playoff semifinal in a future year. The best bowl shouldn't get screwed out. I get no bowl wants to trade. How about the SF bowl that trades with the Rose gets the next open national championship game or the next one they can host?

I read days ago the Rose Bowl might be moved to AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Don’t know how serious that is or if it was just a rumor.

Looks like they finally axed the big games on NYE. You can definitely sandwich three games in Arlington that week. Cowboys home on the 27th, Cotton Bowl Wednesday, Rose Bowl game Friday.

The Orange is forced to take the highest ranked non champion SEC or Big Ten team. That's going to be one of Texas A&M, Florida, or Georgia.

Indiana is rooting big time for Iowa St today. They could easily be out of the NY6.

No, I thought there was a limit to how many years in a cycle the SEC can represent that slot, but I may be mistaken.

Brian Kelly and Dabo Swine nee should be banned from California for life. The hospitals are filled with covid-19 patients right now. What if a football player gets a life threatning injury? He may have to be flown out of state where there are spaces.

Excellent take. We need more people thinking like this. It was a mistake to play college football this year. Hopefully, we lock everything down until 2024. Just to be safe.
