The real reason why Dallas isn’t hosting the 2029 CFP national championship game ... and more news

from The Dallas Morning News · host The Dallas Morning News

Dallas will not host the 2029 College Football Playoff title game as it hoped, but the committee in charge of North Texas’ bid made that decision. A report from The Action Network’s Brett McMurphy Monday said Tampa replaced Dallas as the host city for the game on Jan. 22, 2029 due to a scheduling conflict. However, a person familiar with Dallas’ bid told The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday that AT&T Stadium was never awarded the game and the committee withdrew its bid for other reasons last summer. In other news, a federal judge has ordered a Texas white supremacist group to pay $2.75 million to a Black musician who was violently attacked in Boston nearly three years ago; Next up, Dallas company Burger Schmurger will raise money for victims of the Los Angeles fires with a smashburger sale on Jan. 26th at Oak Highlands Brewery. Proceeds will benefit Pasadena Education Foundation, which has a fund supporting students, staff and families in the Pasadena Unified School District. Learn more about your ad choices.
