Big Ten member Ohio State and Big 12 defector Colorado are working on solidifing an agreement to play each other in the 2011 college football season.
OSU athletic director Gene Smith commented on the rumor of the two schools setting up a game.
“We are trying to finalize an agreement on a game for 2011. We hope to have an announcement on that within the next month. As everyone knows, both schools are working on their conference schedules for 2011. I will say that the figure is not 2 million. Details will be released later.”
Now that Colorado will join the Pac-10 after the season, perhaps this will be a “Rose Bowl preview”? Just sounds weird to say that, doesn’t it? An Ohio St.-Colorado Rose Bowl
