What is the B1G supposed to do if USC and UCLA approached the B1G though? Make them go Indy for a few years?

So UCLA has to pay "CALimony" to Berkeley? Do Cal and UCLA have to pay to the other UC-schools who aren't in the P12 now?

"I felt bad about cheating with my best friend's wife, but what was I supposed to do when she made a pass at me? Tell her to get divorced first?"

I have no idea if this is a good move or not, but I can see the reasoning behind it, even if it’s solely because of money. While I would not personally get involved with my best friends wife, I also wouldn’t get emotionally or personally involved if one or both cheated on each other, because it’s their lives and their own consequences they have to deal with. I also think the idea of making UCLA subsidize Cal because UCLA made a decision it thought was in its own best interest is kind of ridiculous, and Cal is one of my alma maters. The Regents delegated that authority to all the campuses, they should help Cal.

I think all of D1 is pretty screwed up, and getting worse. When a football coach makes $10M/year and a professor makes $200K, I mean WTF? When the Big Ten has 16 teams and spans from New Jersey to LA, are they really the Big Ten anymore? Or are they just Football Superconference North?

The B1G was going to change its name to "The Union League" but discovered it was already taken.

Berkeley should be embarrassed agreeing to take a handout from another school and not having to do a single thing to actually earn it. Whatever happened to standing on your own 2 feet?

Minimizing travel sounds to me like the regent would recommend their preseason non conference schedule be mostly in Cal or around PAC-12 locales and don’t do Hawaii/Texas/ or other tournaments that requires long plane rides.
Long plane rides in conference is a must and comes with admission into the conference so the regent can’t do anything about that.

I think they mean some kind of joint or coordinated travel with USC, but I don’t see that being feasible either. Can you imagine their football teams traveling together all season. FOOD FIGHT!

This may actually help Robyn and the Wahine Team in scheduling B1G teams in the pre-conference season. Thinking B1G teams will want to make a long distance trip prior to their Conference schedule, so that the players get use to it. Thinking it will also impact the so called B1G vs PAC12 challenge they hold pre-conference. B1G teams would rather schedule a higher RPI team then some of the remaining PAC12 teams. That is were Hawaii would quite possibly come into play.

Why would football travel together? Teams and staff are too large for that, and they don't play the same team in a weekend. Basketball could feasibly travel together, but not football. In fact, I bet UCLA and USC would alternate home and away during league. The latimes article specifically talked about "jamborees" and sharing flights for olympic sports.

The article said that the jamboree idea was for olympic sports, and the shared flights idea didn't specify which sport. "The Big Ten has pledged to help offset some of UCLA’s increased travel costs by holding neutral-site jamborees involving Olympic sports from multiple conference schools, and the Bruins could lower airfare expenses by sharing flights with USC teams."

Yes. Literally in the same sentence. The one talking about Olympic sports jamborees and the transportation to them.

Yes. Literally in the same sentence. The one talking about Olympic sports jamborees and the transportation to them. There’s a comma before the and, so they aren’t compound. Regardless, it was UCLA that threw out the idea of shared travel, most likely to appease the Regents before the vote (and USC hasn’t made any public statements about it as far as I know). In all likelihood, it’s probably a bad idea for them to travel together. They are rivals, and don’t particularly like each other, and just because they joined together as partners in crime for this move, it doesn’t mean that those feelings will change.
