The college football semifinal game will now be moved to Dallas.

Probably a good thing that they will not be playing in Pasadena, given how dire the situation is.  But still, the message that the NCAA is sending is beyond atrocious.  Public health rules don't apply to college football, because reasons.

It's a Win-Win decision.  I don't see why there is any controversy over this from any side.
The Rose Bowl made a health-based decision; college football made a football/family decision for pretty important games for those players.  If they can find a venue willing to host (whose hospitals presumably are not bursting at the seams), then go for it.

Sounds to me like the right call.  

I mean, who really cares if the semifinal game is played at the Rose Bowl or at Santa Barbara Community College or whereever?  [In fact, I think a a "cozier" venue might be kind of cool for appearance purposes.  There's certainly no need for a 50,000+ seat stadium].
