USC trying to stop Utah from moving to PAC-10 Add Comment    Jun 14, 2010

The change in conferences is moving fast.� Everyone is waiting for the next big team to make a decision.� Well, today a decision was made.� Texas is staying.�� You know the money and TV rights must have been very good.� So, what does that mean, well, it means that the PAC-10 has an opening.� My sources told me weeks ago that Utah had the invite, and we all heard that.� Then all the moves or rumors of moves began.� This put the Utah invite on hold.� Well, now would be the time for Ute fans to be excited about a move to the PAC-10, but there is a problem, and it is called the USC AD.� My sources are telling me that he is trying to do everything he can to stop Utah from being invited.� Why?� My take, he is afraid.� Not afraid of a game or the BSC games they have been in, but more afraid of the recruiting that will happen in favor of Utah over the next two years.� As the NCAA sanctions take affect for USC, they will definitely lose a lot of momentum with recruiting.� One thing we know is that a lot of the players that USC gets have ties to Utah players.� If USC cannot play in a bowl game, loses championships and scholarships, most of these players will look highly at Utah.� So, the USC AD, who was in favor of Utah coming over just a few weeks ago, is now pulling back from his word.� My question is, with the NCAA sanctions on USC, do they even have a leg to stand on to oppose what was already voted on in the positive.� I think not.� Look for the invite soon!
