UCLA is one step closer to making the Bruins' planned move to the Big Ten Conference in 2024.
to move to the Big Ten Conference in 2024, but in exchange for its approval of the move, the board will require the university to make a multimillion-dollar donation to UC Berkeley to support that school's athletics.
The Board of Regents had a series of meetings on the issue in recent months, focusing largely on its authority to potentially intervene and block UCLA's announced conference shift. UCLA made the decision under authority delegated by the UC system president to individual campus chancellors.Staffers for the board ultimately concluded that the board "retains the authority to take action to affirm, overturn or abstain from acting on UCLA's decision.
In a statement released after the vote, UCLA Athletic Director Martin Jarmond thanked the board for its discussions on the matter. A staff report to the Board of Regents in November noted that increased revenues generated by the move to the Big Ten will "more than offset" additional costs that will be incurred by the university, such as more travel costs for athletic teams and the need for additional academic and nutritional support. The report estimated those costs could reach more than $10 million.
Block said college athletics is in a "volatile" period, thanks to factors such as conference realignments, student-athlete transfers and new rules allowing athletes to profit from "name, image and likeness" contracts. He said the university also recognized that it will need to invest additional financial resources to maintain its athletics programs.
