Line 121:
Oregon State College president August [[Leroy Strand]] wrote, "The reasons for California and UCLA dropping out are as different as night and day... the significance of the whole affair was the union of Berkeley and UCLA... admissions and scholarship had nothing to do with the withdrawals . . . the marriage of this desire on the part of Berkeley with the known ambitions and necessities of its sister institution has produced a bastard that has the bard of a purebred but the innards and hair of a mongrel."
The PCC was falling apart, leading to the decision to dissolve after the 1958-59 season.
The PCC scandal was one of several problems during the chancellorship of [[Raymond B. Allen]] at UCLA that caused him to fall out of favor with the [[Regents of the University of California]]. Allen was widely expected to become the next UC President, but instead, in October 1957, UC Berkeley Chancellor [[Clark Kerr]] was the Regents' unanimous choice to succeed Sproul.<ref name="ClarkKerr1">{{cite book|last1=Kerr|first1=Clark|title=The Gold and the Blue: A Personal Memoir of the University of California, 1949–1967, Volume 1|date=2001|publisher=University of California Press|location=Berkeley|isbn=9780520223677|pages=154-155|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jMEZ_47vXkAC&pg=PA154|accessdate=16 February 2019}}</ref>
