Pac-12 to decide whether to expand within a couple weeks

Does UCLA have covid restrictions for fans? I know LA College teams don't draw that well, but that seems poor even for them.

UCLA doesn't start school for almost another month, so that might have a little to do with it.

I think this what frustrates me more than anything. Just because UCLA is in LA they will always be fine, yet no one cares about their sports as seen below. How about we look at programs who actually have fans not just a big name or in a good media market. Even when we were horrible Jack Trice was 75% full.

To be fair, that doesnt appear to be an in-game photo.

They showed an overview of the stadium going to half, it was sparse.

‘Cause all those seats are student seats.

Problem is how do you get the conferences to give up control. They have all the power and I don’t know how that ends. Much like the difficulty ending the dynasty of archaic bowl industry a lot of jobs and money going to people that won’t want to give it up. Universities would have to act independent of conferences but also collectively to make a change. I don’t see it happening without lawmakers or regulators forcing a new structure.

Conferences don't have power. The 2-3 elite programs at the top have POWER. As long as Ohio State, USC, Alabama, Clemson are willing go along, all is good and stable within the P5 Conferences.

As we saw with OU & UT- when the elites get greedy, the conference drops down a couple pegs.

"El Trafico" was tonight!

Seriously, there will be a big crowd next week for the LSU game.

I would not be shocked if LSU has more fans there.

Very unfortunate the Big 12 powers have long had self-esteem issues. And in UT’s case, poor for a decade

It will be a combo. LSU will take a ton of fans to the game, but there will be a big UCLA crowd too. This is a perfect CFB game for the Angelino crowd.

Doesn’t California have restrictions in place?

only restriction was they had to wear masks, but they have to wear masks everywhere out there.

It is a hot day in LA today. I don’t blame people for not wanting to bake in the sun. And people there don’t care about college football

Make all the excuses you want, but I dont think I have ever seen Jack Trice that emty, not even close. In the days of our worst teams, in games with the worst weather, even a blizzard more people showed up. People just make excuses. This is a bad look, and the problem with the PAC.

i watched the game it was that way the entire game.

Kansas puts more fans in their stadium, and that is sad.

It’s always about the total Benjamins not the buts

Maybe, but that is not what I was responding to and the point I was making. It was for the excuses for why people didn't go to the UCLA game.
