Disney is going to reorganize CFB to suit its streaming needs which means no more garbage games like we saw in abundance last weekend. The herd will be culled to, maybe 40 - 60 teams so that each weekend there will be several games you'll want to see and pay for. The payday games will disappear and so will the cupcakes that are paid to play in them.
At this point, Ucla will be culled. The Bruins will drop down into the "Elite University" league where they will play to small crowds and smaller streaming audiences.
Jarmond, Foster and the crappy talent level on the 2025 team are only just symptoms of the problem. The CA-UC-Ucla cabal is the problem. They can't compete in a capitalist market, a no-holds-barred competition for success and profit. They do well in rules controlled clubs like the NCAA. There is no cure for this problem. Ucla will leave CFB.
Our best play is to put the Bruins under independent management with a revenue sharing agreement with Ucla. Business economics will eventually force the arrogant Ucla brahmin to choose between economic extinction in athletics, or spinning off the football program. This decision should be a no-brainer, but if they had useful brains, we wouldn't be in this position to begin with.
The train is on the tracks and it's rolling this way. The only question now is when it gets here. Ucla sucks.
