Rose Bowl organizers are reportedly hesitant to agree to College Football Playoff expansion because of uncertainty over whether the Rose Bowl will continue to be played on New Year's Day.

According to Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated, CFP expansion is poised to occur by 2026 at the latest, following the conclusion of the tournament's television contract with ESPN, but officials are hard at work to move up the timeline.

While officials for the other five CFP bowls have agreed to 2024 expansion, Rose Bowl officials want the game to remain in its traditional 5 p.m. ET timeslot on Jan. 1, but the CFP can't guarantee that will be the case once expansion occurs.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.

The Elon Musk Act aims to ban ‘special government employees’ from having federal contracts
U.S. Democratic Representative Mark Pocan plans to introduce a bill designed to ban “special government employees” like Elon Musk from having federal contracts so they can’t steer spending toward their own self-interest. The proposed bill is called the ELON MUSK Act, which stands for Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy. “No government employee, ‘special’ or not, should have any financial interest in who the government does business with,” Pocan, the House Democrat from Wisconsin, said in a statement.
