That would be so awesome. Make it so!2020 is when the new stadium opens in Vegas. Lots of speculation a Pac-12 vs. SEC matchup could be in the works.
That's a huge win for the Pac-12.
Really hurts the MWC, too. Las Vegas Bowl pays $1.35M per team. Arizona Bowl pays under $300k.
Got to assume that for the Pac-12 we'll see a significant increase to that $1.35M if there's a P5 conference opponent and a date closer to New Year's Day.

Please. Yes.2020 is when the new stadium opens in Vegas. Speculation is a Pac-12 vs. SEC matchup could be in the works.
Why not have it on NYD and televise it on P12 net?
Ok, the P12 net thing is a reach. But honestly, why not have it on NYD? What would be the problem with that? So many of the legacy Bowl games have been moved off of NYD that it’s harder to binge college football that day.
Outback and Citrus are day games played on the East Coast. Play the Vegas Bowl right after the Rose Bowl ends, at around 8:00 Eastern. No dilution and the country gets a massive dose of PAC 12 football all at the same time. Win/win.Depends on the partner conference, but the SEC already has two pretty big bowl games on NYD with the Outback Bowl and Citrus Bowl. The Pac-12 has the Rose Bowl most years. Not sure either conference wants to dilute exposure of those games. Plenty of opportunities to find a time slot between the 26th and 31st to maximize the exposure.
Could also go after 1/1, which some bowls have done. With the signing day on or about 12/20, it's preferable to the schools to push the games later in the calendar but still within the dead period.Depends on the partner conference, but the SEC already has two pretty big bowl games on NYD with the Outback Bowl and Citrus Bowl.

Stop raining on my parade!!!Well, I believe either CFP games or NY6 bowls get that time slot every year, so that will not really work.

So put it on just prior to the Rose Bowl, then. Should still be OK, timing wise.
What about an arrangement with the ACC instead? We could probably get a higher profile team out of the ACC than we could from the SEC. We might get stuck with Missouri or South Carolina from the SEC, but a team like VT or UNC or Miami might fall to that slot from the ACC.
SEC is a much larger ratings draw than ACC, regardless of which team it is.
Especially to Vegas. Would be a very attractive bowl location for any conference.Most SEC teams would probably travel better too.
I think the team has a large bearing on it. Missouri, Kentucky and Mississippi State would not command the kind of audience that Miami or VT would. On balance, though, I agree. Here’s my thinking: it would be easier to attract the ACC #4 team than it would be to attract the SEC #4 team. I expect the PAC 12 #4 team to be there. (Rose, Alamo, Holiday, Vegas).SEC is a much larger ratings draw than ACC, regardless of which team it is.

Since when has the Pac worried about TV exposure?Depends on the partner conference, but the SEC already has two pretty big bowl games on NYD with the Outback Bowl and Citrus Bowl.

Anyone think that the Rose Bowl will move to the new Rams stadium?
