This is more than I had hoped we would get, but less than what justice dictates.
UCLA elected to destroy 94 years of tradition of being in the same conference.. They really destroyed college football as we know it. They should pay $25m a year as far as I'm concerned.
Their crookedness killed the PCC back in 1958. Two years earlier (in 1956), two of their societies (the Bruin Bench and the Young Men's Club of Westwood) were caught operating illegal slush funds to pay players.
But this was a lot worse.
In the wake of the 1958 scandal, Chancellor Sproul successfully implemented academic and oversight standards for both UCLA and Cal. This led to both institutions pulling out of the PCC and forming the Pac.
Seven decades later, those degenerates did it again.
But during the 1956-58 scandal, the President of Oregon State spoke some words that proved just as true seven decades later:
"The reasons for California and UCLA dropping out are as different as night and day... the significance of the whole affair was the union of Berkeley and UCLA... admissions and scholarship had nothing to do with the withdrawals . . . the marriage of this desire on the part of Berkeley with the known ambitions and necessities of its sister institution has produced a bas-tard that has the bark of a purebred but the innards and hair of a mongrel."
Now that we are finally divorced thanks to UCLA's treachery, we can move on without them. And they can pay us alimony while both schools try to survive in new bas-tardized mongrel conferences.
