    This. Ditch UCLA and go grab Stanford. They would add the SFMA and wouldn't have to deal with silly California interstate bans. Stanford has few strings attached.

    Fox would be less happy as they wanted to lock up LA, but can't complain too much getting SF.

But yeah Newsom forcing Cal into the the Big Ten would definitely bring move overall money into the UC system. It would also be the first time since the start of realignment that political threats actually changed an outcome.
      Totally agree that it indeed would not double, but I was making a point that Newsome is not as dumb or "not rational" as some would portray him. With that said, even with the money being diluted, B1G would still make a much larger amount of money than anything the P12 would get any of their remaining teams. Do I believe that will happen? Nope. Do I think Newsom is irrational for trying to increase the money made by the UC system? Nope....he's just a politician looking for a quick buck.

        Well Newsom is definitely a big dummy. But that's independent of him being a Democrat or how he is posturing with college sports right now.

          Oh this would be a hilarious outcome. "OK, we won't take UCLA. We will take Stanford, OU, and Washington."

            Stanford is a better fit and then they would have 2 of ND annual games in the conference to continue that pipe dream.

                • Stanford is in such a strange situation. They’re a world class institution. But I’m not sure they bring much monetary value.

                    Agreed. Way too many doormats as it is.

                          You're always wrong, you poor thing. Stanford has a better football tradition and brand and overall sports tradition and brand than BYU.

                          It's also not just a world class university but one of the two best in the world.

                            Stanford has the best overall athletics program in the country - no question.

                            Like Cal, their football program has struggled with fan support lately. Tough to imagine them bringing enough value to justify a B1G invite, but who knows?

                              The article I linked says Stanford is 50 percent more valuable than Oregon.

                              Sounds plausible to me.

                                I would be highly skeptical of anything John Canzano says. That guy is a hack.

                                That being said, it could be true. Oregon is probably being overvalued.
