Whoever signed that deal in the first place for UA should be fired. UCLA has not had a fan base in forever. Their program is a joke in the two main sports, and no one pays attention to the things they do well. There are barely any fans at UCLA games and it has been that way for years.

UCLA wanting to "keep it" has everything to do about getting a buyout. Probably to cover the losses they sustained with the last two buyouts on bad contracts. It's not like this deal was ever about football or basketball because it was signed why UCLA wasn't exactly lighting it up. It was signed because of the athletic heritage, but mostly because it's in LA.
It's fantastic news though, because UA wasn't giving UCLA anyone of note on the AAU circuit.

UCLA barely has a fanbase when they're good.
I remember when UCLA almost won the National Title in 1998 and nobody in L.A. cared. Bill Plaschke declared that L.A. was a UCLA town and will always be a UCLA town. Yeah, how did that statement turn out.
Nevermind football, which UCLA became an afterthought and ghost during the Pete Carroll years but even basketball.
They weren't even selling out Pauley during the Ben Howland Final Four years.
Their students are frankly not there to watch sports. They're there to study hard and make family proud.
25% of UCLA students are International.
