Speculation on top of speculation:

The following are quotes from the article:
COULD STANFORD POSSIBLY REPLACE UCLA IN GOING TO THE BIG TEN?
Don’t bet on this happening, but the obvious point remains that since UCLA is under the UC system umbrella and Stanford is not, any potential complication from the UCLA side of things could create an explosive environment.
IF UCLA'S EXIT IS BLOCKED OR AT LEAST RESISTED/MADE TOUGHER, WHAT WOULD STANFORD DO?
However, Stanford probably values its women’s basketball program and its Olympic sports to the point that it would rather stay in the Pac-12. UCLA’s move being blocked would actually make Stanford more inclined to stay, not less, since the Pac-12 would regain a foothold in the Los Angeles market.
WHAT IF THE UC BOARD IS SUED FOR FAILING TO BLOCK UCLA'S EXIT?
Could this be the unexpected development which improbably leads to chaos within the UC system? If people (likely from Berkeley) with resources and legal knowledge see an opening, and a way to punish the UC system for allowing UCLA to leave, could that put the brakes on UCLA’s move to the Big Ten?
Once again those were quotes from the article; not my opinion.
