After months in limbo, UCLA finally has the green light to join the Big Ten.
The Bruins’ planned exit from the Pac-12 was officially approved by the University of California Board of Regents on Wednesday, formalizing one of the most seismic conference shifts in the history of college athletics.
UCLA will join the Big Ten alongside crosstown rival USC in the summer of 2024. The move will make the conference the only Power 5 league with teams on both coasts
As part of the move, the Bruins will be required to pay Cal between $2 million and $10 million depending on the terms of the Pac-12’s next media rights agreement.
