Time to fire everyone and start with a clean slate.

This is not the end-all. UCLA athletics will sink even lower. There seems no end to disfunction, corruption and mismanagement.

Meanwhile, you can support the UCLA NIL effort by writing a check made out to "CASH," and mailing it to me. (DM me for the PO Box.)

6 figure donations receive priority for disbursement, so give generously.

Could this finally be the final nail in Jarmond’s coffin?

We can only hope, but I’m doubtful.

This "with cause" incident should be Martin's tarmac moment.

You would think it's sufficient cause for firing the AD, but I'm expecting him to pin the blame on the donkey and try to escape intact again. He secured a 3-year contract extension right before Blockhead retired, so I'm sure he'll do his best to honor those terms. LOL

And, unlike SeahawkBruin's NIL collective "Bruins Faux Life", no monetary donations are required. You can easily contribute wisecracks and jokes to "Funny Bruins For Life" without any obligations whatsoever. It's all a result of the sad state of the UCLA football program, unfortunately...

Hunt apparently was the one who authorized that extension while Block was asleep at the wheel in the final months of his retirement. Word is Jarmond maneuvered with Hunt to get that signed.

At this point Guerrero would be a step up. He was incompetent but well meaning and could fundraise. The current AD is a straight grifter.

I am sickened that SUC has the higher ground over the Four Letters.

The smack talk at the Big Game will be deafening but deserving.

It doesn’t take Nostradamus to know that the lax regulation for the NIL environment was going to bring out the scammers. “…L.A. can't get no stranger Full of drama like a soap opera”

It's fascinating, almost documentary-worthy, to see not only the leader, but an entire department, be THIS managerially-challenged.

Fascinating . . . and completely disheartening, as a long time fan (and season ticket holder).

I didn't know there was a deeper bottom.

Anyone think that only UCLA is doing this?

If there are other programs doing this, they're now put on notice, all thanks to Bruins For Life!

Nope. Likely tons of corruption across the college landscape. They all should be held accountable.

Note to Blockhead 2.0...

Ok... it's now right in front of your FACE, BH 2.0!

Get rid of your Block Holes with 7 words in their job title. Clean out Donut Head Jelly 2.0 and his Donut Holes including the newly revealed Liza D. from Morgan.

Restore order now!

This s**tshow cluster's ultimately on you! And btw, while you're at it, fix the relationship with the Rose Bowl. No one wants SoFi except for your 'luxury' brethren who can afford body guards.

Get it done!

Sincerely,

Those you don't give a damn about.

How these brainless patho lying scumbag narcissist wonders can ever hold these positions is unfathomable and yet here we are.

Hard to believe any competent AD would be clueless about their school's NIL funding operations, however, UCLA doesn't have a competent AD (the financial mismanagement of the Athletic Dept. is proof). I can imagine him simply delegating the authority and responsibility and allowing something like this to happen, and maybe advocating for separately-run NIL collectives to prioritize basketball and avoid pissing off the guy he's scared of. Anyway, hope this latest news generates a sufficiently large electric shock to awaken Frenkenstein and fire the jelly donut AD with cause.

So they fired Harrick for alleged travel and meal reimbursement error/fraud. Ok got it. That is a precedent. Now this whole tax fraud is much worse and should result in immediate firings across the sports administration, starting at the top with Jarmond - maybe we should call him fraudmond. The bigger issue - beyond all the issues currently facing UCA sports - is the complete destruction of a solid and respected brand. Folks, it has lost its trust and credibility. We are now no different than SC and all the other schools of sports scandals. How do you sell a coach now? What are the ups shots? It’s like selling a car with a broken transmission, blown out engine, and ripped up interior. Ain’t no one buying that it’s still a good car. Good luck, UCLA . I have to believe the only person coming to UCLA is a coach who is desperate for a shot and will use the opportunity for higher roles after serving time in the UCLA seat

Jarmond needs to go.

Baylor's AD just resigned for unspecified "violations of university policy" and this conduct by the Athletic Department is very specifically violations of university policy and tax law.
