per Shooter:

The bid process to host an NCAA football championship game in Minneapolis in 2018, 2019 or 2020 will begin this month. A decision isn't expected until next November.

The Vikings stadium will host the 2019 NCAA Final Four. Minneapolis also will pursue a Big Ten football championship for the stadium.

I would love for this to happen.

I would think the B1G title game is more likely. Just like the Super Bowl, I suspect the National Championship game will wind up being played about 95% of the time in warmer weather-cities or more "party" destinations.

I think the MNC game comes here before the Big ten title game. The league has too many ties to Indy to let it leave for even a one-off gig.
