That is SAD and explains why Pac12 collapsed. They can't get fans to come out anymore.

Well, it’s kinda like we were talking about when he left for UCLA. LA is a lukewarm college football town at best. His days of playing in front of packed houses and raucous crowds ended when he left Tennessee—-unless he’s playing at another teams stadium.

UCLA was a bad fit but that is what Nico needed IMO. He should have gone somewhere like a Fresno State or San Diego State where he was out of the limelight and could develop. He has the talent, he just doesn't have it mentally. Sometimes these guys can click at the right place, however.

This is a much slower pace of football. It’s kinda like watching the little giants or something. Both us and Syracuse looked more crisp than either of these teams.

They are in the B1G, he will have nasty opposing crowds to deal with.

Meh, the Bruins got into the B10 so attendance wasn't an issue

UCLA is kind of in the same boat as Miami. Their football stadium is 20-30 miles away and in UCLAs case that distance is through some of the worst traffic in the country.

Oh yes, and Nico sucks. Can't forget that part

UCLA has had this problem for a long time. They really don't have true fans.

The program really is on its death bed. Lack of institutional support, no stadium on campus, and a shrinking fanbase.

The campus is beautiful but it cares a lot more about catering to doctors and kids of Hollywood stars than football. Even their basketball support is dropping too.

Yeah, they need to have a stadium on Campus. Rose Bowl just doesn't work for them anymore.

Kind of a shame because all of the Nico drama aside, it was a once proud program and is kind of a staple brand in college sports.
