4. Rose Bowl has always been about money. Not about the best team.

I attended a large university with a well known football team.

No matter how badly the team played in any given year, they always played in a Bowl game after the holidays. Tons of money from alumni, TV, and branded merchandise.

Everyone on campus just shook their heads, but we understood the financial aspects of college football quite well.
