Pac-12 ball to be donated to 9/11 Memorial

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — In recognition of the first-ever Pac-12 football game and the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the Pac-12 has created a commemorative painted game ball that will be signed by every head coach and donated to the 9/11 Memorial (www.911memorial.org).

USC will host Utah in the first conference football game in Pac-12 history on September 10 at the Los Angeles Coliseum.

The commemorative ball departed August 30 on a 12-day journey throughout the Conference, stopping on each head coach's desk for an autograph before moving on to the next school. The two-week trek began in Oregon and will culminate in Los Angeles.

The ball will be presented to Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott at midfield during pregame festivities Saturday, September 10.

Utah being ranked 79th in the nation is a great accomplishment considering they let just about anybody in. I bet they don't rank in the top 250 for ACT and SAT scores for incoming freshmen. Utah's faculty deserves a lot of credit.

Ute Fan In Utah

West Jordan, UT

You guys do realize that byronbca was complimenting Utah's academics? He said they take pretty much anyone but they still manage to be ranked 79th in the WORLD. They are taking their students and making them better.

byronbca,

Why all the hate brother? Are you jealous that BYU did not make the list? Or did you score 33 on the SAT and that somehow makes you better than everyone else?

You are the poster child for the type of fan that More..
