LOS ANGELES — As of Wednesday, the College Football Playoff did not have its answer after months of waiting. The Rose Bowl was still on the clock, and, accordingly, Pasadena attorney Laura Farber, the chairman of the game’s management committee, warned her opposing counsel that she would be taking lots of breaks that day during their deposition.
“I know why … Rose Bowl, right?” the opposing counsel said. “I’m not a college football fan, but my husband is.”
If you care about college football at all, Wednesday’s setup was overflowing with intrigue. The CFP was hoping to come to an agreement on early adoption of its new 12-team format, beginning in 2024, and the last box it needed to check was the “Granddaddy of Them All” signing off on amending the last two years of the current contract.
