A degree from UCLA gets you a job in California, that’s it! Nobody else cares!
The aerospace industry cares. Downplaying a degree from UCLA looks really silly.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the $22 million what the school
can allocate to all players in every sport? Like from tv contract proceeds etc

And then additional NIL can be rounded up from
Boosters and other sources as long as it’s not coming from the school

Yea, definitely not the 1000’s of other alumni around the country that also have degrees from there and probably love to hire individuals who also graduated from there. What a weird comment.

Very weird comment since you could say the exact same thing about a degree from MSU. And be dead wrong in both cases.

Bobcat athletics is a business to the coaches, school leadership, and players. It's time the fans treat Bobcat athletics as a business too.

Just for context, there are about 20 billionaires who graduated from UCLA. Pretty sure theres only one from MSU, and if the stock of his company were to drecrease in value by 10%, he wouldn't be anymore.

Comparing MSU to UCLA in terms of degrees is a little bit like comparing the Bobcats to the Oregon Ducks.

MSU is goo, it just isn't even playing on the same field as UCLA.

Yeha, thats the 'official' NIL (which isn't even really official). But the other NIL isn't even remotely close to guaranteed. There are a ton of guys who bought into booster funded NIL to find out that it's not real. Might happen, might not.

Remember Matthew Sluka last fall at UNLV?

I haven’t heard of that litigation has ended with Matt and UNLV. Are there any updates that case if gets pushed could be huge. There are lots of lies told to these players and they’re still believing them.

It's a huge assumption that he'll stay at UCLA long enough to get a degree. UCLA might be a good school but it's not a good football program. Feels like the next step, not the last step.


Showing pressure on fourth down in overtime. They bring pressure. Lamson throws...Endzone! Caught! TOUCHDOWN!!! Taco Dowler!

And a kick away from a championship.

Here we go. Miles Sansted. Snap, hold, kick, Up, GOOOOD!! FOR A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Boom! We need to help get as many kids signed up for his camps and corporate sponsors as possible.

@onceacat did you play tennis for and graduate from um? The correct spelling of Jhase is in the post you quoted.

Thanks and good luck Jhase.

Have not seen an update, but new drama at UNLV...
The qb that took them to MW championship said he was returning. Then bolted to portal on 2 Jan 26.

I certainly don’t have the answer, but I sure don’t think the majority of this is good for college football

Can we marvel at our depth that a guy who basically as best I can tell had slid down our depth chart to some degree at TE was able to snag a Power 4 offer?
