Interesting article about the state of BCS negotiations

Looks like the Rose Bowl isn't going to stand for some of the more interesting ideas being tossed around by fans and sportswriters. Excerpt:

CBS.SportsLine.com - NCAA Football Rose Bowl invokes Granddaddy clause in BCS talks:

"The Rose Bowl seemingly scuttled the most reasonable solution to the now-critical negotiations, the so-called 'piggyback' model that would add a fifth game but keep it within the current BCS-bowl lineup: Rose, Fiesta, Sugar and Orange.
The Rose recently made it known it wants the Pac-10-Big Ten matchup in every scenario except for the BCS title game (No. 1 vs. No. 2).
That led to dissension by the Big 12 and SEC. The two mega-conferences were suddenly not in favor of the piggyback if the Rose Bowl wasn't incurring its share of 'liability'. That liability: having to take a non-BCS team in its bowl at some point. "
