Will UCLA Pay For The New Head Coach? (164 clicks)
I think considering his hires (Howland, Savage) Dan Guerrero has a pretty good eye for talent. He brings in good coaches who have UCLA competing for national titles, just as all Bruin coaches should. However, college football is a big money business and with all big name coaches looking at over $1 million per season, UCLA will have to spend much more than they ever have on a football coach if they want to have a top notch football program instead of continuing their decades long commitment to mediocrity.

Bushgate: Lake Spills the Beans to NCAA (168 clicks)

A source confirmed to Yahoo!

Look Who's Talking (120 clicks)
Today Llyod Lake is scheduled to talk to NCAA investigators about the Reggie Bush case. According to his attorney, Lake gave $291,600 in payments, lodging and other accommodations to Bush and his family from November 2004 to January 2006. If the NCAA finds all of Lake's evidence credible then they could rule Bush ineligible during that time frame. That would force USC to forfeit those games. This might be just what Karl Dorrell needs! He could get two more ticks in the win column for his time in Westwood against the hated Trojans. Maybe Karl should send Lake a gift basket.
