[NU Sports] Rose Bowl

[Jonathan Hodges]

This is due to the fact that as of 2011, the rest of the BCS bowls will be
televised on cable (ESPN).  The current ABC/Rose Bowl contract (which runs
until 2014, I believe) has a clause that allows ABC to move the game to ESPN
(both are subsidiaries of Disney) if the rest of the BCS bowls are moved to
cable.  This, of course, means that the vast majority (28/34) of bowls will
be carried by ESPN/ESPN2 staring in 2011 - the only ones left that I can
think of are the Gator and Sun (CBS), Capital One/Citrus (ABC), Texas and
Insight (NFL Network) and Cotton (FOX).
