But it would make more geographical sense if the Orange Bowl took UConn. Stanford is a good 3,000 miles from Miami where UConn is only 1,500 miles. I would bet that there would be A LOT more Stanford fans in Glendale, instead of much less numbers in Miami. So the Orange Bowl would probably lose money if they took Stanford since we are so far out west. More UConn fans would travel to Miami and more Stanford fans would travel to Glendale, and I\'m one of them.
