MrBug708 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Looks like UCLA just cleared its debts. Maybe .50 on the dollar so north of 100 million? https://www.dailynews.com/2022/07/28/ucla-under-armour-drop-dueling-litigation-over-280-million-sportswear-deal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row Z Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I thought this article was a good summary of the regents meeting yesterday, and analysis of possible outcomes. https://writeforcalifornia.com/p/uc-regents-ucla-cal-big-ten-meeting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

MrBug708 Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 I think you will most likely see a yearly home-home series with UCLA and Cal as the money going back to Cal. Newsom probably doesn't want to annoy the flyover states in a possible presidential bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
