💯💯💯 Make UCLA Football and Basketball great again!

💙💛💙💛

Caring for and valuing the students in this way builds trust and loyalty, and will lead to future donors in a huge way!

Students will give back to the place that gave so much to them.

Harris is a breath of fresh air. He is giving oxygen to everyone. He is a class act through and through.

I also do not think he will put up with Cronin denigrating his players.

The stark contrast between Cronin's 'style' and Chesney's is under the bright lights now.

Harris loves UCLA too much to have it dragged through the mud by any coach.

Chancellor Frenk

HC Bob Chesney.

Moving on from Jarmond.

Tim Harris pro bono.

Athletics Dept getting the logos back.

Stoping the fake attendance #s at the Rose Bowl.

Free student tickets for FB, MBB, and WBB.

All fantastic moves in the right direction.

Go Bruins!

For the record, Harris basically downplayed the Pro Bono thing in his conversation with David Woods and Tracy Pierson. You can find that video in last weekend's Spaulding Report.

He explained that, basically, he and Chancellor Frenk agreed that it is more important for him to get to work than to spend time now negotiating a contract. I suspect that when they do put ink to paper, he will either get a contract that's retroactive to the start of his term or receive some sort of signing bonus intended to compensate him for that time.

Before I graduated in 1982 - UCLA students attended these events for FREE! Tim Harris remembers this and has brought back a tradition. Go Bruins!

So, it was likely Pete Dalis who broke that tradition after he became AD in 1983.

TRUE! When I was a student starting in 1973 all the football games AND transportation were free. Basketball too as far as free entrance. What a hoot back then.
