And the #1 reason: UCLA is a public university. It exists by and for the benefit of Californians under the domain of the Regents. The Regents had legal standing to prevent UCLA s move to the B 10. The Regents allowed the move with the condition of Calinony. The $10 million per year is just part and parcel of the move

Randy—totally agree. If this was the business world and a “subsidiary”, ie UCLA, unilaterally made a decision to move to a different “company” (Big 10) lawsuits would be flying and management of the “sub” would surely be fired. UCLA went rogue on its bosses (Regents) and were lucky to get this result. Cal has no reason to thank UCLA for these payments as the senior management ordered it. I’m surprised that no one at UCLA was not fired by the Regents for insubordination. We will see how UCLA fans enjoy being in that conference.

Probably a little more than being the Atlantic Conference, but time will tell! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
