He's more of a hopeful guy, like Wilner is. For different reason. 

 

Prior to the meetings, that writer was pretty sure UCLA was going to be forced to stay.

I would swap the percentages for scenarios 2 and 3 ... 35% chance of UCLA leaving but required to share some of the payout to Cal, and 20% (or less) chance of an invitation to Cal. Newsom would have to throw his weight around with Fox Sports and the B1G to get Cal an invitation, which is certainly possible but does not seem likely to me.

Newsom probably doesn't want to annoy the flyover states in a possible presidential bid

Fair point.  Also, while Newsom could win some points with Washington and Oregon voters if he agitated for UW/OR/Cal/Stan membership in the B1G, those states are already solidly blue anyway, so probably not much upside to doing that.

Newsome has to win primaries.  Particularly in western blue states.

I think we vastly overestimate the CFB fanhood's impact on Dem political primaries.  Electing meathead football dorks is a Republican thing.  Dems won't care what Newsom does about the Pac-12.

Do you know what it says? Any clues about who/what/when expansion would occur?

The contract includes an escalator clause, meaning the deal could approach nearly $10 billion if the Big Ten’s membership increases, network sources said.
