UC Regents Require UCLA to Pay Cal $30 Million Over Three Years
The payments are intended to address the revenue disparity from UCLA's move to the Big Ten, with a review set after three years.
- UC Regents mandate UCLA to pay Cal $10 million annually for three years.
- The payment, called 'Calimony,' aims to offset the revenue gap caused by UCLA's move to the Big Ten.
- UCLA's annual media revenue from the Big Ten is projected at $60 million, while Cal's from the ACC is $11 million.
- The decision includes a review of the payment terms after three years, with potential adjustments based on financial changes.
- Critics argue the payments unfairly penalize UCLA, which is already facing significant athletic department debt.
