Does this mean that the Rose Bowl will no longer routinely host the winner of the Pac 12 and the Big 10?  I know that there were years when this did not happen, but it sounds like the new arrangement may completely kill this tradition?   Or am I misreading what this is about?

I read it the same way. Another tradition bites the dust.

So assuming that the Rose Bowl will no longer host the winner of the Pac 12 and the Big 10 on an annual basis, do these two conferences pick another bowl or develop a new bowl or don't bother with continuing with tradition since tradition does count much anymore.

with a 12 team playoff it is likely that one or maybe two pac-12 and big-10 teams are in the playoff each year so I guess you could have the first pac-12/big-10 bowl after the playoffs get the highest placed team left from each conference (which for the pac-12 this year is the Alamo bowl, not sure of the big-10 bowl order).  Personally I don't think this arrangement would continue the tradition so I'm guessing it won't be a priority...
