It's not that they're getting paid. It's that one can't relate to a team with almost all new players. It used to be that we would know most of the players since they'd been with the program for several years. Now I think there might be one or two players on the two deep depth chart that had been with the program before last season. I wouldn't expect this to change much since most of the transfers are upper classmen.
College football teams used to represent the university. Now they're just hired hands who aren't really UCLA students.
