I'm not convinced that Ohio State would be a much bigger tv draw after the last few years of OSU bowl games.
If there was a bowl in NY and they were chosing from two teams, one in Chicago and one in Seattle, the closer proximity of the Chicago team would absolutely come into play.

And to think the Rose bowl aligned with the Big 10 for all those years despite the distance...

And all the years that Nebraska went to the orange Bowl....
