I feel like they do decide to allow family in the stands then they could just have the entire playoff be at either Hard Rock Stadium in Miami or at AT&T Stadium in Dallas or both.

Calif told the 49ers to take their ball and go play in AZ, wouldn’t put it pass these morons to tell the NCAA to do the same

Family gatherings have been driving the latest rise in cases and deaths.

Tell BK to take a hike
I don't really think having just the families of the players and coaches being in a large outdoor stadium and appropriately and safely spaced out would cause any issues.

That's what's been said about every outdoor event that turns into not so widely spaced and a lack of face masks.

Have you watched any of the games on tv this year? Despite all the media attention and supposed rules, whole lot shown either without a face mask entirely or poorly worn at best.

I mean, California didn’t force the 49ers to move, the county did. Applying pressure is smart though because the entire west coast opened up more because of the Pac 12 applying pressure to the three yuppie governors.

The Rose Bowl has been played outside of California. I believe it was 1942 and in Durham, NC.
The city owns some of the rights to the Rose Bowl name. They aren't going to give it away. The Rose Bowl can't be played in another city.

Oklahoma will take their spot if they don't want it, I mean we wouldn't win but we need the experience. Is there a better way to gain experience than getting beat up by the best team?

No one is better at losing in the playoffs then you guys

This seems weird to me.
* I imagine his players would go nuts if they were selected to the playoffs, and he turned it down because the players family couldn't be there live.
* I imagine his school would go nuts because they would be turning down a big payday in the middle of a season that had massive financial losses
* I imagine it would hurt recruiting if other coaches pointed out the fact that he pulled his team from a possible national title game because parents couldn't attend in person

I believe this is the first year that they have to split playoff money with a conference (ACC), so maybe this is a negotiating trick? I just can't figure out why a coach would say that he wouldn't accept a playoff invitation because "mom and dad" can't come to the game.

I'm not sure it will matter though. I could see Clemson wanting to "run up" the score to prove something after losing to them earlier in the season with several key players out. If ND loses by 21+ points, I could see them being left out of the playoffs.
