UCLA was one of the biggest debters, and only their lawsuit against Under Armour was the reason they haven't gone under already.

I think it would be a HUGE mistake to try and add any of the PAC teams until more information about the financial health of those schools athletic departments is made known.

Besides, I haven't seen any evidence being reported yet that adding any of the PAC teams doesn't dilute the B12 distributions yet. If there's a decrease in revenue by adding teams, there's really no point.

Why are the PAC teams in so much debt? Do they not know how to manage their money?

They put a ton of money into their Olympic sports, especially women’s. Many of those schools sponsor 34-36 sports.

Sounds like there is going to have to he serious budget cuts in the future.

For example Cal has 30 Varsity sports:
Men- baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, gymnastics, rowing, rugby, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field and water polo

Women: Basketball, beach volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball and water polo.

Stanford has 36- including all the above plus fencing, sailing, wrestling, artistic swimming and squash.

What is “artistic swimming and squash” That sounds like the epitome of a how much money can we waste in creative ways.
