Rose Bowl makes another push to be left out of CFP semifinal rotation in favor of historic New Year's Day date

Long story short the Rose Bowl only wants the Jan 1 date. Since semifinals are not held on that date they don’t want those games. They want to be permanent quarterfinal hosts.
Gotta be a financial loss for that, media fee wise. But I guess when you old, rich, and white you can tell folks to kick rocks no matter how much money they try and throw at you.
