The SI article says, "The board also recommended UCLA pay the Berkeley campus $2 to $5 million, depending on the end result of the Pac-12's ongoing media rights negotiation, to stabilize student-athlete support on its sister campus...After putting it to a vote in the open session, the ceiling of the Berkeley subsidy was bumped up to $10 million." So does that mean this is a one-time payment? I inititailly read this as an annual thing It's not clear if it's a one-time or an annual amount. I imagine there will be some adiitional reporting to clarify this. Also, the Regents won't actually vote on the issue until after the PAC 12 renegotiates its media rights deal, which is reportedly still months away from happening.

This article says that the $2MM to $10MM payment is a one-time payment, but doesn't provide any substantiation for that statement.

So UCLA has to pay "CALimony" to Berkeley?

So how do they "minimize travel" under this plan? At least in VB, start by not playing Indiana on a Wednesday and Purdue on a Sunday.
All the matchups with the CA teams should be B2B when CA teams are on the road, and with a travel partner. ie don't play NE followed by OSU either.

Jesus, how bad does UCLA treat their athletes?? Nutritious meals, Nutritionists, Mental health, academic support etc…isn’t that pretty standard at most P5 programs? Nutritious meals! Wait, so they can go to Wisconsin but cannot get cheese curds? They can go to Nebraska but not get some Runza? Cruel and unusual punishment...

But they did have the authority. It was delegated to the Chancellor. There is dispute about whether such authority actually was delegated. If it really had been delegated, then there would be no need for a vote. However, news reports are that (despite a majority of the feedback from UCLA athletes being opposed to the deal), the Regents have decided it can go forward. Well, holding hearings and voting to allow it to go forward could primarily be a face saving exercise. It doesn't necessarily mean they had the authority to block it. This way we don't have to find out and everybody gets something out of it.

Um, they are still here. It's more like B1G, welcome to LA. They will be visiting a lot. Getting their vitamin D fixes and preventing SAD.

This is actually why I was hoping for the carnage that would ensue if UCLA didn't get to go. I would have enjoyed watching the Big 10 teams having to fly all the way to LA just to play USC. I guess I'm still pretty pissed off about the Big 10 raiding the PAC-12, especially since they had previously agreed to be allies and not poach each other's teams. Apparently agreements like that only last as long as it is convenient for people to keep their promises, though.
