Who Needs Rose Bowl
Milwaukee columnist Beye Larson argues the Rose Bowl might benefit from inviting two outside teams. He notes Big Five records showing UCLA 5-2 6-2, USC 3-3-1, Washington 3-3-1, Stanford 3-4, California 1-5-1, and suggests the AAWU may snub the Big Ten, reducing hopefuls for a tie-in after last season’s rupture.
