My guess is that this is all about the publicity.  Haden gets to look like a "good guy" for requesting his fine go to charity, and since Children's Hospital Los Angeles is part of USC, the money goes back to the campus.  You know what, Haden, if you feel the Autism research is so important, feel free to donate as much of your money as you think appropriate to it.  But don't insult us by requesting that the money you pay as a fine for being a nitwit go to a charity you chose.

That being said, hopefully the Pac-12 does donate all the money collected from fines to charities.  I believe the NFL does.
