Bucki, if you have been paying attention you know the Pac additions having been talking about the extra travel cost for the non-revenue sports.
This idea of playing across four time zones is going to wreck the travel budgets for the Pac additions and the big ten teams traveling west.
The conference is going to need those extra funds to defray additional costs.

I don't know how much control the Calif Board of Regents has
over UCLA's move but you know they are not happy about it, not just a little bit.

I know Los Angeles is a huge TV market but how many people there watch college football?
UCLA's home attendance is pitiful and USC's home attendance is not much better.

That is for UCLA/USC to worry about, not me. They knew what they were getting into and most likely had it figured out when they joined.

USC and UCLA have huge followings and will be must-see TV now that they are in the B1G.
