I'm sure the three parties will end up together, but it will be interesting to see if there is a quick and easy negotiation that takes a lot of money away from the Rose Bowl or if there will be a token shopping process where the conference have to pretend that they are willing to leave in order to get top dollar.

Delany really needs to make some steps in the right direction that keep in line with what's happening. It seems like he's been a step behind through this playoff discussion. I think Scott is the better of the two commissioners and the Rose Bowl is obviously smack-dab in the middle of his territory. Scott needs to be the one to make it happen. If they don't, they risk falling behind financially if the other conference continue to pressure their bowls to make concessions. But I don't think it will reach that point. They'll get something done.
