In Reply to: Does UCLA want to be known as the school that will… posted by Fuzzy on February 19, 2026 at 13:35:05
I don't know that it would be seen as "try[ing] to save a buck]" if UCLA were to reasonably and carefully couch this as the last straw in a series of unacceptable displays of behavior, both on the court and in his press conferences. This would be especially true IF the University, through Jarmond or someone else in the Athletic Dept., has actually already met with Cronin and told him he needs to tone it down, be less crazy, be less acerbic, etc.
Obviously I have no idea about the actual situation inside the Dept., but that's a scenario that could make sense to me.
