After lessons learned in the Euro chase, Mick Cronin lands Skyy Clark and Kobe Johnson in the transfer portal. Dominic Harris is likely to join them in the coming days. Ilane Fibleuil and Will McClendon have both entered the transfer portal from UCLA's side thus far. That's a pretty good influx of ...

Talking to Longhorned was incredibly illuminating. He’s on the faculty senate and has been privy to a lot of the behind the scenes stuff that I’m not sure I can mention here, so I’ll let him tell it if he chooses to if/when he returns to the board. I’ll just say that Robbins has burned all the brid...

An example is why should Robbins (a state employee) have received a cash bonus when the deal closed? The whole inventive structure is fucked up and should be flagged as a reason why the blazing red flags were intentionally ignored.

What was the conflict of interest? I have missed that detail in all of this. He used to do work with a company that worked with/for universities and that was over 5 years ago. So it's a shoddy accusation needless to say. IMNSHO, in any corporate structure, whenever a board member (especially and of...

When DG retired at UCLA, she was the favorite. Nobody really wanted her at UCLA and UNLV fans were pleading for us to take her. I have no idea if she worked out at Missouri or her path from UNLV to Missouri was successful or not, but UCLA's hiring of Jarmond during COVID didn't work out too well in...

I heard from a colleague that the Arizona Global University transaction was masked behind the Arizona Foundation (and not the university itself), thus hiding the transaction details from potential Freedom of Information Act requests.

The UA is a state university.

I have not been fickle on this from the day a certain news item dropped Nothing to do with football But I also thought we agreed to separate that news item from upper and lower boards.

Someone on FB said it was due to NIL negotiations breaking down. Just wonder how deep of pockets the UA NIL program has. Williams Jr has a NIL valuation of $63K.

Frankly this is the WRONG THREAD for the continuing discussion about JDL's crime and how the U of A Athletic Department handled it.

He said he'll probably come back when basketball season starts up. He's not happy with how the de Laura situation was handled and it got testy between him and a couple posters.

He was right too. Hope he comes back soon.

It's likely all this will change again dramatically in another 8 years or so as the media market continues to evolve. Right now we're at the crossroads of failing traditional linear TV, while streaming paywalls aren't quite there yet to offer security or enough guaranteed money. Now was just a terr...

My view: this whole thing sucks. Stable/predictable revenues are nice, but this is not the only measure or predictor of success.

Our justice system has decided, for better or worse, that juvenile criminal files are closed. And for the most part, expunged when someone turns 18.

Fact. USC basketball just became a "hot ticket" for the TV market merely with the addition of Bronny. Fact.

I'll ask again, if JDL was eligible to be tried as an adult with a potential maximum 14-year sentence, then why did the prosecutor offer him a Juvie deal with no time, and the judge signed off on it? Answer is, we'll never know. But it's not the job of a University President nor AD to play judge an...

More facts. The prosecutor decided a plea deal as a Juvie with no detention time was appropriate punishment. The Judge agreed, and signed off on the plea agreement. We have also never heard from the victim or her family if they think the punishment was too light. Understand they wouldn't make any p...
