The governing board of the University of California discussed the Bruins’ departure, but no action was taken.
Gavin Newsom railed, the UC regents convened and UCLA’s departure to the Big Ten remained squarely in the political realm. But on an eventful Wednesday in San Francisco, nothing suggested the Bruins won’t jump conferences in the summer of 2024.
Instead, it was switched onto Wednesday’s agenda, presumably to fit Newsom’s schedule. And he reportedly made a rare, but nonetheless appropriate, appearance. As governor, he is a Regent Ex Officio . Without UCLA and USC anchoring the Pac-12 to the massive Los Angeles media market, the conference is fighting for survival. In a best-case scenario, it will remain intact but lose hundreds of millions of dollars annually in media rights.
The move is also expected to place a heavy burden on UCLA athletes because of the travel demands that come with membership in a conference based in the Eastern and Central time zones.
