BARRING SOME UNFORESEEN tragedy this weekend, both
Michigan and Ohio State will qo into their November 24 battle
with perfect records. When the final whistle blows that day,
somebody is going to get screwed.
The average Big Ten observer considers it a major injus-
tice that one team will be singing "California Here I Come"
while "Taps" will be played for the losers. Anxious alumni be-
lieve that New Year's Day shouldn't be spent in front of an
open fire watching Curt Gowdy's mumbling Rose Bowl coverage.
Instead, they want to be in the stands watching their favorites
battle a forniidable opponent on some gridiron, somewhere.
The Big Ten participation in the Rose Bowl and no
other post-season classic has been kicked around for years.
But how many people really understand the reasons for this
policy?
For the past 26 years the Big Ten and the Pacific-8 con-
ferences have contracted with the Rose Bowl to send only the
conferences' top representatives to the annual classic. The pact
also states that no other conference school can participate in any
other bowl games.
"Basically we (the Big Ten) don't go to other bowl games
because we really don't want it any other way," claims Michi-
gan athletic director Don Canham. "There are some faculty reps
who oppose even going to the Rose Bowl."
The conventional - and valid - argument against multiple
bowl appearances is that the prestige of the Rose Bowl game
would decline.
"We don't want to dilute the Big Ten's attention in our
game," comments Lathrop Leishman, chairman of the Rose
Bowl Committee. "If the second best team went to our bowl,
or anywhere else for that matter, we feel there would not
'be total interest on the part of the conference in us."
The Pac-8 teams are in the same boat as Michigan and Ohio
State. "If we allowed USC and UCLA to go elsewhere," states
David Price, information director of the Pac-8 conference, "the
entire city of Los Angeles would totally neglect the Rose Bowl."
Not only is the Rose Bowl the most prestigious of all post-
season contests but it is also the most financially lucrative.
An estimated viewing audience of 64-to-80 million watches the
game on television in addition to the over 100,000 screaming
spectators in the stands. "Occasionally a game between two
big teams will approach that television figure," Leishman
observes, "but no one ever beats us."
Each Big Ten institution receives approximately $90,000
from the Rose Bowl - whether it goes or not.
-To the best of my knowledge, most conferences operate
that way," Canham explained. "We get $90,000 and so does
Iowa, even though they haven't gone in many years. It helps keep
the conference strong.
"It is also more lucrative for us to go to the Rose Bowl alone.
The Big {Eight conference sent five teams last year to bowl
games and collectively they didn't make as much money as the
Rose Bowl."
According to Big Eight commissioner Chuck Neinas, that
conference at one time had a similar working agreement with
the Orange Bowl; but abandoned the "one-bowl" policy in favor
of sending many teams to many games.
Still, Neinas admitted that revenue gained from such bowl
games as the Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, Sun and Astro-Bluebonnet
does not match that of the granddaddy of them all.
"Bowl games pay different," stated Neinas. "The Rose Bowl
simply pays the best."
Critics of the Big Ten policy have asserted that limited
post-season exposure puts a damper on the conference's
reputation. They argue that since the Big Eight sent five
teams to bowl games, it must be a superior conference. But
does a team with a 7-4 record playing in the Sun Bowl Indi-
cate strength?,
The Big Ten has good, sound reasons for taking the stand
that it does. Yet, one cannot help but feel that either the Wol-
verines or the Buckeyes will get a royal shafting a week from
Saturday.
Imagine the uproar from both schools if by some quirk the
"Game of the Year" should end in a tie. On what criteria would
the Rose Bowl participant be selected? Which club could hon-
estly claim to be the best in the conference?
Money and prestige are fine and dandy but it would still be
nice to see the Wolverines play on New Year's Day - whether
in Pasadena or elsewhere.
