Wilner sold this as a win for UCLA because the payout was reduced from 6 to 3 years with years beyond 3 now not guaranteed. I'm not sure that payments above 10mil were ever an option anyway.

All that being said, since California taxpayers are ultimately the main funders of both schools, not sure how much any of this matters.

California taxpayers fund less than 20% of the total UC budget.  

Wilner, as usual, is wrong.  With the ACC’s contract with ESPN set to expire in three years, the ongoing litigation between the conference and Clemson/Florida St. and the pending settlement in the House case, who knows what things will look like in 2028.  I think a shorter term with a guarantee to revisit is a much better deal for Cal.
