the Ucla Bruins.
Until Ucla is walled off from football operations the program will continue to be a mess. $167mm in debt, chronic operating losses, 26 years without a title, sparse attendance, orphaned in a strange league, scheduling fodder for tv execs and big money programs. And the head bureaucrat gets re-upped as though the trains are all running on time.
This is the pinnacle of arrogance. They spit in our faces.
Parasitic, bureaucratic decay awaits.
If the new chancellor shakes the box, hard, a Renaissance may flourish. He'd need to clear out Morgan Center and set up football operations on a licensee contract. He's 73, so chances are he's here to finish feathering his nest, keep the seat warm for a few years and maintain the status quo.
Jarmond's extension was it for me. I may watch a game here and there, but I'll no longer support the program. This is not the tribe I joined. These aren't people I want to associate with.
I'll always love my Bruins. But it's clear they only exist in my imagination now. My Bruins will always be brave, inspiring, cherished and exciting. They are no more.
