I could be wrong, but I think talk of UCLA staying in the conference is wishcasting. If I’m at UCLA, I see that the future of CFB is two super-conferences, the SEC and the B1G, and even if the the PAC-12 stays intact as the next tier with the ACC and Big-12, the pull towards being with the “big boys” is too intense.

If the goal is to "be on the biggest stage", then they would desire to be in the Big Ten. 
If the goal is to maximize revenue, they they would desire to be in the Big Ten. 

Revealed preferences suggest that for most athletics programs, those two (biggest stage and maximizing revenue) are the goals of most of the time.
