The next step in UCLA’s planned move into the Big Ten is officially on the calendar.
The University of California’s Board of Regents will discuss the situation in a closed session on Sept. 22 at 10 a.m., according to the agenda item posted on the regents’ website: UCLA Big Ten Membership — Potential Legal Issues and Financial Impacts.
The school’s announced departure from the Pac-12 has been met with resistance from the regents and Gov. Gavin Newsom, who blasted the lack of transparency behind the move and expressed concern about the impact on other UC campuses.In a crucial exchange, general counsel Charles Robinson made clear that the Regents had the authority to block the move by withdrawing the authority over conference membership delegated to each chancellor.

• The regents could overturn UCLA’s move unless accommodations are made for Cal to join the Big Ten, as well.The University of California Office of the President did not immediately respond to a Hotline request to provide details of the agenda item. The stakes are massive, for UCLA and the Pac-12. The conference could lose millions of dollars in revenue annually without UCLA as a member — USC is also leaving — because of the value created by having a campus in the massive Los Angeles media market.USC has the stronger football brand and greater ability to generate ratings, which factors into valuation assessments. But if UCLA were forced to reverse course, the conference would benefit from direct access to the 5.
