Nebraske Fans
My friend, Harriman Cronk, director of athletics (and past president) for the Tournament of Roses, the guy that put together the Rose Bowl in the BCS coalition, is absolutely estatic about Nebraska coming to the Rose Bowl. He's convinced that Nebraska fans are the most loyal in the country and will come out here in droves (translation: and spend a lot of money). He says if they can't catch a flight, they'll drive.

hmmmm......wonder how many percentage points were figured in for a teams' potential ticket sales. College football has become such a joke. On the other hand, way to go Hawaii!!!!!!!!! Annihilators of BYU!!!

I went to a Big 8 school (before it became the Big12). Everytime we played Nebraska at our stadium, 2/3 of the crowd was Nebraskans that drove 500 or 600 miles for the game. The entire town would be full of red cars, red trucks and red vans. I swear that Nebraska has more fans than any other college team in the country except Notre Dame.
In Phoenix, the Nebraska alumni even pay the local radio station to carry Nebraska games on the radio.

Note, by the way, that BYU is not in the 63.
The BCS has just been renewed till at least 2006.
Yuck!
(For those of you who think that the reason that they don't have a playoff championship is that the players would lose too much class time--an argument proffered by BCS supporters--note that the playoffs could be handled in three or four weeks--less time than the NCAA basketball championships--and that most of that would be during the winter / semester break, so that the lost class time would be minimal.)

Sorry, he's inundated with requests. I doubt that I could even get one for myself. KeithD has a ticket, i think. Check out the DaRKCrow New years Party/Rose Parade thread in Meets and Events Forum.

I think the argument about loss of class time is a joke also, especially considering the 56 regular season game schedule college baseball manages. It's always about money.
