Cal should join the MWC and save their student-athletes from too much travel to different time zones.
Again the almighty $$$ was the only consideration here.
Shutting down the program is absolutely an option. Not sure turning Memorial into housing is such a good idea given it is on the fault line. Best to tear it down and put a proper rugby field on it.
If I'm a 5* recruit and Michigan, Ohio State, U$C, and Fucla offer me I'm going to go to either Michigan or Ohio State ~ just so I won't have to travel as much but still be in the conference. I actually think this will hurt ~ not help ~ recruiting for the LA schools.

It's pretty clear that Big-10/SEC College Football is not going to be played by “student-athletes.”
These have become semi-pro NFL player feeder leagues, with huge TV contracts, paid players (via NIL), and the occasional dropping by an actual class.
Well then time to shut down the program and turn Memorial into housing for the homeless.
People's Stadium.
Cal athletics just solved the bay areas homeless crisis.
Yeah but if they default on the stadium loans instead, I bet they could build even more housing than that!
