But while the game was a back-and-forth marvel, one question remained on the minds of many fans and watchers: Why no televised halftime show?
Each year, the professional National Football League showcases an elaborate halftime program. Past performers have included Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, Dr. Dre, Prince and many others. It has become one of the most beloved traditions when it comes to the annual Super Bowl football matchup. So then why is there an equivalent when it comes to college’s big game?
One X user, Ed Bark, a former TV critic for The Dallas Morning News, shared his thoughts on the social media platform, writing, “Wondering why college football’s national championship game doesn’t have some sort of musical halftime show beyond marching bands. I mean, a lot of these ‘kids’ are already paid pros. Couldn’t they at least bring in The O’Jays?”
