The name of the stadium was alternatively "Tournament of Roses Stadium" or "Tournament of Roses Bowl", until the name "Rose Bowl" was settled on before the 1.

Conference, against an opponent from the Eastern U. S. During the last two years of World War I, teams from military bases met in the Rose Bowl.
During its history, a number of notable matchups have been made with the top football teams and top coaches of the time. These include the 1.

Big Nine–PCC agreement[edit]During World War II, many college football schools had dropped some conference opponents and instead played football against local military base teams. Many colleges could not even field teams due to the draft and manpower requirements.[1.
After the war was over, demobilization and the G. I. Bill enabled returning servicemen to attend college. The 1. 94. 6 season was the first true post- war college football season with travel restrictions lifted and civilian college opponents returning to schedules. The Big Nine and PCC were of the same accord when it came to treating players as amateurs, as compared to the semi- professional status that the Southern Universities proposed. Also, the Big Nine and PCC both had the same attitudes towards desegregation and allowing African- Americans to play football.[2. Many other universities were still segregated.
None of the Southeastern Conference schools had an African American athlete until 1. The Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Sugar Bowl would not be integrated until 1.

In 1. 96. 2, after Minnesota changed its vote against pursuing a new agreement (resolving a 5–5 voting deadlock which had prevented any new negotiations for years), a Big Ten agreement was finalized, which went into effect with the 1.

Rose Bowl to the BCS era, statements about an "exclusive" Rose Bowl agreement existing during this period are not entirely accurate: the Big Ten was not part of any agreement for the 1. The fact that the 1. Big Ten champion, Ohio State, declined the invitation to play in the 1. Rose Bowl (without penalty) is the clearest evidence that this "exclusive agreement" did not exist in these years. The AAWU used "Big Five", "Big Six", and "Pacific- 8" as unofficial nicknames (each reflecting the number of conference members).
It officially adopted the "Pacific- 8" name for the 1. The name changed to "Pacific- 1. Arizona and Arizona State in 1. BCS in 1. 99. 8.
