With each California touchdown last week in Berkeley, each cannon shot celebrating the Bears up on Tightwad Hill, Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott’s sinking feeling must have grown more pronounced.
First, there was the obvious misgiving as Cal thrashed Colorado, 52-7: “This is the Colorado football program we’re getting in a year or two?”
And then there was this irony, which couldn’t have escaped Scott in the cascade of Cal points: The game perhaps served to muck up further the timing of Colorado’s entry into the Pac-10.
Utah is set for 2011. If Colorado could settle its exit-penalty fee with the Big 12, reported to be about $9 million, it would match Utah’s timing. If not, it comes west in 2012.
