    I bet the UCLA admins knew how bad they were. They turned their heads/eyes. Idiots.

    Jamie Dixon and Rick Barnes probably found out during the interview process - I'm sure they would have been thrilled to coach with potential APR bans looming over UCLA. Their 2019 score has to be 928 or better to avoid a ban for the 2020-21 season.

    I'd say the chances of UCLA taking an APR postseason ban are approximately nil. The NCAA will change the rule before they ban UCLA from the NCAA Tournament over academics.

    2013 UConn begs to differ.

    Well that and they didn't wanna pay P5 money buy-outs to P5 coaches as well. UCLA's administration is an absolute dump, and it blows my mind because that is a top-tier academic school, LOCATED IN FREAKING LA. Surprised they were even able to get Chip Kelly on board after watching this basketball crap come out.

    The article that came out in The Athletic yesterday was interesting as well. the writer got a hold of emails between Cronin and Bohn about contract negotiations and paints Cronin in a much worse light then he was already in. He was offered an incentive based deal that would have paid him 3.1 million had he just made the sweet 16 and he said no. Even the biggest of Cronin loyalists are turning on him now.

    I'm the furthest thing from a Cronin apologist, but why would he take a contract laced with what-ifs knowing he could eventually get what he wanted in simply salary somewhere else? We all would have said no too.

    Both wanted that job. Dixon couldn't get TCU to drop the buyout/UCLA wouldn't pay it and Barnes asked for too much money and then told UCLA he'd take their original offer. He was turned down then.
