Wolfie- According to the worldwide sports leader, there has been some discussion recently about the Pac-10 reverting back to a schedule with 8 conference games. What is your opinion on the matter and how likely is it to become reality?

Here’s a link to the story:

A: I’m not against the 9-game schedule because everybody plays each other and there’s no debate about whether the conference champion would have lost to the team it didn’t play. Imagine if Oregon and USC did not play each other? The Ducks might win all their games and then USC could only tie them for the conference title. One thing the Pac-10 has over the Big 12, Big Ten and SEC is that everyone plays each other. I don’t think it’s a pressing issue right now and if it does happen it won’t go into effect for a few years because it takes awhile to redo schedules.

Q: Jon said:

A: Yes, he will be on scholarship. He’s actually one of the few players who want to be on scholarship at USC these days.
