lots of bad info in that article ...

the cotton bowl won't ever host the championship game ...... what he means is Cowboys stadium in Arlington will host the game .. the cotton bowl will still be played a week earlier ...

I'm giving up on FBS college football. It is time to pick my favorite FCS team.

Obviously he wasn't talking about the Cotton Bowl Stadium. He was talking about the "Cotton Bowl" which is played in Cowboy Stadium

the cotton bowl will be played every year ... (4 out of 12 it will be a semi final) it will NEVER be the National championship game ... that game will be bid separately every year ... Cowboys stadium will host the first title game (reportedly) and the cotton bowl will still be played that year

I think that is what he meant. Just like now. The original bowl is still played, but the title game is hosted by that Bowl Game. For example this year, the Orange Bowl hosting the NCG. So relax. :-P

Never the less, Boulder, everyone understood what was being said and there is no conspiracy to confuse. It's really a non-issue.
