If, heaven forbid, the NFL lockout carries over into September, Sundays in fall could be gruesomely boring. But maybe the PAC-10 would step in and fill the void.

[url="http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=rivals-1205409"][color="#3b5998"]Tom Dienhart of Rivals.com[/color][/url] writes that college football could take advantage of the opportunity to cash-in by playing games on the Sabbath.

"We certainly are monitoring the situation," PAC-10 commissioner Larry Scott said. "We have no plans in place at this time, but you want to be prepared and consider all options. Still, these labor situations have a way of getting done the closer they get to a critical situation."
From the sounds of things, Scott has not actively pursued Sunday scheduling yet (it's early, of course).

"We haven't had anybody approach us with that," Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne said. "Thursday night football hasn't been around forever, and we adjusted to that. Sunday is a day a lot of people look to watch football. You would get good exposure.

"But Sunday games would be something we would have to think long and hard about before we jumped into."
