All six DI UCalifornia programs, four of which compete in the Big West, wear a variation of blue and gold. The two Pac-12 programs both have bears as mascots.

UCLA is the Los Angeles branch of the University of California system, and the bear is on the California state flag, it made sense for UCLA to adopt an ursine mascot.
Initially, UCLA teams were known as the “Cubs,” while the University of California at Berkley went by the “Bears,” and later the “Golden Bears.”
But students at UCLA resented the little brother status and rejected the Cubs nickname in favor of the fiercer “Grizzlies” nickname.
The Grizzlies moniker lasted just two years.
In 1926, UCLA joined the old Pacific Coast Conference, which already had some Grizzlies in the mix -- namely, the University of Montana. UCLA agreed to give up the Grizzlies nickname, and Cal bequeathed UCLA one of the variations on their Bear nickname: “Bruins.”
If the SEC had the same rule who's the Tigers?

Doesn't explain Cal Poly, Cal State-Bakersfield, Fresno State, Cal State-Fullerton, Long Beach State, Cal State-Northridge, Sacramento State, San Jose State, nor any of the dozen private DI programs in the state not having bear mascots.

They're all in a different school system.

You forgot the biggest fact of them all UCLA's fight song came from Big C Berkeley's fight song and they renamed it Sons of Westwood
Back in the early 20th century they had what they called All university weekend featuring UCSB, UC Davis, UCLA and UC Berkeley. A doubleheader that was held in either Berkeley or Los Angeles with Cal playing UCLA and UCD and UCSB playing
Not to mention that all UC schools except for UC Merced are very highly rated universities

Obviously LSU, because Auburn has already demonstrated their willingness to adopt other mascots.

That does not explain the two honorary UC's having different mascots
University of Colorado Boulder
University of Texas Austin
The Buffaloes and Longhorns aren't Bears
The joke may not be understood by all but it is because of three things 1) Amount of Californians at both universities 2) The Californication of Austin and Boulder 3) How open minded and highly regarded both universities are
