I’ve heard about some extra benefits that the coach in East Lansing might receive.

They’re reviewing a restructuring of the buyout and incentives.  One rumor is .. $ 50.00 gift cards at your store of choice - they may go “retro” and offer a K-mart gift card with a blue light special in your favorite department.

Damn...didn't think UCLA had been THAT disappointing...

And would hope the coaches reach out to Dante to see if he wants to come home...If JJ heads to the League as one would expect then there would be a golden opportunity for a talented young QB in AA.

They just lost to ASU.....ya its bad and joining the Big Ten isnt gonna make things any easier. I never understood the love for UCLA. This program has never been relevent and barely a step ahead of Cal or Stanford as far as football goes. Not to mention a fanbase that takes pride in playing at the rose bowl but cant even sell half the stadium tickets. Pathetic program overall

They won the National Title in 1995.

Three Final Fours in a row under Ben Howland.

Beat Juwan Howard to make the Final Four

Tons of PAC-12 Championships.

Generally regarded as a Blue Blood for basketball, and John Wooden DID happen.

Man, every once in a while there are some...takes on this board, this one's an all-timer.

I was a teenager in LA in the 90s. From 91 to 98 UCLA beat USC every year. So that probably colors my impressions but I think they're miles ahead of Stanford and Cal, they've just been wandering the desert ever since then.

Can't really blame them for not filling the Rose Bowl when students have to drive through an hour's worth of traffic to get there...plus it's a commuter school so many would have to drive even farther. It's nothing like our AA situation where everyone can just walk to the game.

This program has never been relevent

While UCLA has almost never truly been in the national championship picture, they won 7 conference titles in the '80s and '90s under Terry Donahue and Bob Toledo, and finished in the top 10 nationally seven times. During one stretch under Donahue, the Bruins won 8 straight bowl games, including 3 Rose Bowls, a Fiesta, and a Cotton.

Starting in the 1960s, UCLA was always in USC's shadow until the early 80s when John Robinson retired and USC hired Ted Tollner. Terry Donahue won 3 PAC10 titles in 4 years (82, 83, 85) as well as all three RBs. The series record since 2012 is USC 6-5. 

The only time we lost to the same team twice in one season was UCLA in 1982 (including RB at end of season).
