When NIL started to become a thing, what did bro do?
Told fans to NOT give. So that chip would fail. Chip's success in the portal was bad for bro's business model. Woods mentioned numerous times in brocasts that bro was sucking on the business side.
So forget about no scandals. Forget about rapidly improving APR scores. Forget about all the low rated guys getting shots in the nfl. Forget about the productive offenses. Forget about the leap in defensive prowess. Chip was bad for what REALLY matters to bro... which is bro.
There is an inherent conflict in interest with a for profit "fan site". The fan site wants to tell the hc how to run his program. Offer this guy NOW. Play this guy NOW. And if the hc doesn't do it... then he's bad. Lazy. Incompetent. Even though the fan site owners HAVE NEVER PLAYED THE GAME, much less coach it or run a program. But these guys are "experts". Because they say so. Lol.
If bro really cared about Ucla athletics, their message would have been, "look, you don't like the coach. Fine. *I* don't like the coach. But NIL is *not* about the coach. It's about the kids. And the kids are great. As people. I think they suck as players, because school of mimes. But they're good kids. They deserve our support. So let's support the kids. Let's help Ucla get the best kids out can get. And the hc that we all hate will be gone soon enough. One way or another."
But that was 1000% *not* what they did. So fvck them.
Then there's the whole conflict of interest about Crawford getting kicked off the team. Does broski ever disclose, "hey, just so you know, my kid got kicked off the team, I'm still bitter about it, so take my personal attacks on the hc with a grain of salt."? Fvck and no.
