What happened to my ¤cash?
I will enjoy watching him go for 1,000 yards this season. It will be even more apparent how broken things are in SE mitten.

He'll definitely have the opportunity for big stats against a number of suspect Pac 12 defenses(i.e.: WashSt, fake OSU, Washington, California, Colorado, Arizona and Stanford).

Seems kind of early to declare Stanford won’t be playing Stanford Football.

“College athletics has changed so much,” Jarmond said. “It’s a very dynamic time right now in our business. With everything in the landscape changing, you’re constantly evaluating what are the opportunities, what is the path forward to put your student-athletes in the best position to be successful and resource and support them in the best ways?
“When you look at the landscape, the Big Ten Conference is very strong from the standpoint of the tradition, the academic fit and the institutions there … and then high-level athletics. With that combination, it just made a lot of sense for us to look at the Big Ten and call the Big Ten our home for the future.”
Yeah, you'd be smiling too if your hand is where his hand is......

UCLA Olympic sports faced uncertain future until the Bruins jumped to the Big Ten
It was a splashy move with a quiet beneficiary.
Given its perilous athletic department finances, UCLA faced the prospect of cutting sports had the school not agreed to bolt for the Big Ten Conference.
The timing isn’t certain and the number of teams that would have been affected isn’t known, but the Bruins were headed toward an Olympic sports Armageddon without the infusion of cash that will accompany its departure from the Pac-12 Conference in 2024.
Now its 25 teams and more than 700 athletes can exhale knowing that their futures have been secured, making those cross-country flights and frigid midwinter temperatures in Big Ten country far more bearable.
“If you love Olympic sports, you should be a fan of this move,” UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond told The Times on Tuesday. “When your program is in significant debt, it’s difficult just to maintain, never mind to invest. This not only preserves the programs now — which was not a given — but also will allow us to invest in them. This move allows us to reimagine what UCLA athletics can be with more strategic investment and resources.”
Over the last three fiscal years, UCLA’s athletic department had run up a $102.8-million deficit that figured only to worsen given the school’s sagging football attendance and paltry Pac-12 payouts that lagged behind its major conference counterparts. Now it’s conceivable that the Bruins could receive $100 million from the Big Ten per year if the expanded conference can snag the projected $1-billion media rights deal that’s set to begin in 2024.

People complained about the effect on the players on the 5 hour flight to Maryland or Rutgers, etc. for teams like volleyball team, etc. Well. without the B1G money UCLA might not be able to continue funding the volleyball team, etc. Besides if they plan ahead they could use the 5 hours flight for on line classes, study hall. and/or tutoring, etc. They wouldn't need class monitors either, the players are stuck on the plane...
If the B1G would coordinate scheduling, schools could save some transportation costs. They could have the men's and women's teams play the same schedule/dates where long flights are required. The teams could travel on the same flight.
