College football hotbeds Tampa and Glendale to host football national championships in '16 and '17
Glendale Arizona, home of the University of Phoenix Fightin' Students Who Were Tricked Into Taking Out Non-Dischargeable Student Loans and Tampa, Florida, home of a fake pirate ship, were awarded the 2016 and 2017 national championship games. The schedule of the semifinals for the next twelve years is also below. As one would expect, they are all in warm-weather locations, meaning that fans from the midwest will inevitably face the prospect of having to travel long distances twice if their team makes it all the way to the championship game. Also, as you may remember, the Chick-fil-A (no politics!) and Cotton Bowls are on par with the Rose, Sugar, Orange, and Fiesta Bowls under the new regime.
Additional note: Jerry Jones Stadium will host next season's game. (Hit the scoreboard with a punt at your own risk!)
Semifinal schedule with locations:
• Rose and Sugar bowls: Jan. 1, 2015; Jan. 1, 2018; Jan. 1, 2021; and Jan. 1, 2024.
• Orange and Cotton bowls: Dec. 31, 2015; Dec. 31, 2018; Dec. 31, 2021; and Dec. 31, 2024.
• Fiesta and Chick-fil-A bowls: Dec. 31, 2016; Dec. 31, 2019; Dec. 31, 2022; and Dec. 31, 2025.

Kind of like the vast majority of Michigan (and any other US university) students who take out federal student loans?

Bowl package tours are not exactly for the the common man but at least you know a few weeks in advance where your team is playing. How many fans are going to be able to travel twice, once on very short notice? At the risk of getting all Haight-Ashbury...Rich Corporate White Guys 1, Everybody Else 0.
