This is a bit of bad news: When Urban Meyer wins his seventh-straight national title in 2020, he won't be hosting the trophy against the Rose Bowl's scenic landscape.
From Chris Dufresne of LATimes.com:
The Rose Bowl, after careful consideration, has decided against bidding for the 2020 College Football Playoff championship game.
A task force spend months studying the feasibility of hosting, but the Tournament of Roses executive board ultimately decided against moving forward.
“We would love to host a national championship game here,” William Flinn, Executive Director of the Tournament of Roses, told the Times. “But we have to make sure it works for everybody.”
Does this mean 2020 is likely happening in another soulless NFL stadium? You bet your sweet ass it does.
