Side note on CU Boulder, we took daughter #2 for a campus visit there and found out that in the 1960s the administration asked the students to come up with a name for the new dining hall. The students decided to name it the Alferd Packer Restaurant & Grill, named in honor of the infamous Colorado cannibal from the 19th century. Crazy kids. Apparently students haven't been asked to name any other buildings since.
Cant they do both? Scholarships for tuition and room/board, then a stipend/pay of $X per semester.
I don’t think so, otherwise businesses that pay for your degrees would eligible.
Frankly I think the B10 would prefer Stanford. I think USC wanted UCLA as their oldest and natural rival. USC alone gives the B10 the LA market. Opens up the Bay Area market and gives them another elite academic institution.
I don't think they will actually be able to stop UCLA from moving but won't save the PAC12. The Big 10 can just pivot, take Stanford (get the bay area market) and have their 2 schools. Stanford like USC is private thus the regents can't stop them.
If they don't at least try stopping the UCLA move now, after putting all this pub out there, they'll look really bad. Like some strange "hey you never asked us, I mean we're ok with it, but you never asked us" micro flex.
Or the B1G can say fine UCLA can stay in the PAC, we'll take Stanford, UO, UW instead, have fun with what's left in the PAC.
I think Stanford and UW are way ahead of UO in B1G pecking order. The difference in TV markets and academics trump the difference in football prowess.
