SynopsisDuring the 2019 season, college football will celebrate the 150th anniversary of its first game in 1869, Princeton against Rutgers. More than a century ago, the development of the Rose Bowl Game created a model that allows teams and its fans to end the season with a game at a neutral site. This Football Bowl Association Vault by noted author Malcolm, Moran will celebrate that tradition by describing the evolution of a postseason that has grown to include more than 40 games. The once-modest enterprises, which scrambled t o pay their bills and attract visitors to small stadiums, have grown into nationally televised spectacles that establish a national champion at the end of each season. This book will describe the dramatic growth of an industry, the way it overcame it challenges, and how it became an important part of the nation's holiday celebrations. Filled with iconic images, this treasure trove also contains replicas of historic memorabilia, including old bumper stickers, etc.
