Three State Plan

California is set to vote on splitting the state into 3 separate states....California, Northern California and Southern California. That got me thinking, how would that impact current California Universities naming? For example...California would be located in the new "Northern California". USC would be located in "California" and not in the new "Southern California". The satellite campuses of California would be a mess. For example...UC Riverside would reside in "Southern California" Would it then become Southern California Riverside? Because of new governments and I'm assuming funding issues, would all of these schools be forced to rename their universities?

Don't know why they would have to rename them... theoretically they could all pool together to keep funding the same as it is now as well. Even if funding was to be split up they wouldn't have to change names.

Does this have any real chance of happening?

North California vs South California will confuse the Carolinas

Who stands to lose the most if this were to take place?

Do the voters of California have the authority to just add 2 new states to the U.S.? This seems extremely unlikely to pass through all the necessary channels.

It won't happen. Even if 100% of the voting Californians approve the split, the feds have the final say. The last tine it happened was Virginia splitting, and that took a civil war.

Nor Cal would be the richest new state.

So Cal would be the poorest new state.

California would get all the tourists.

I can honestly say, I don't give a shite and would never have started a post about it.

I don’t think anyone has to worry about any of this. People in California are much too stupid to to consider logistics before drastic action.

Name is least of it.

Dividing the retirements is the challenge.
A lot of overhead at first.

The sf sacto is the winner.

Common sense will have to prevail. Kid in jc in socal wanted to transfer to uc Berkeley. Now he's out of state.

"California" would become the greatest state in the union.

It would be a farmers paradise with a pretty conservative government, but still contain the coastline and best city in the state in San Diego.

"Southern" California would be an absolute shitole. It would not have the Silicon Valley Money but still have their politics and mindset. That state would be bankrupt in a year.

"northern" California would be filthy rich but a total hippie state that still had wine country. Would be an interesting place to visit.

I hope this passes.

USC is a private institution.

They will call themselves USC if they ended up as part of Eastern Hawaii.
