NCAA Approves Bowl Waiver for UCLA

Found December 02, 2011 on College Sports University: Yardbarker Blogger Network
TEAMS:

UCLA will be playing in a bowl game. The NCAA approved a waiver for the school if the Bruins lose to Oregon in the Pac-12 title game. A loss would drop UCLA to 6-7 on the season and teams with a losing record are not typically eligible for selection. A release by the school did not specify why the NCAA granted the waiver. The Bruins are only playing in the Pac-12 title game because USC is ineligible due to NCAA sanctions. “As a program, we appreciate the NCAA approving our petition for a bowl waiver,” UCLA athletics director Dan Guerrero said in a statement. “We will be able to give our 18 seniors one more chance to represent their university and end their collegiate careers on a high note, regardless of the outcome of this Friday’s Pac-12 Championship Game. We’d like to thank the NCAA for considering the unique situation in which we find ourselves this year and rewarding us with this opportunity.”

Well, so much for a good send off for Rick Neuheisel. UCLA got blown out by Oregon 49-31 last night.

Class Act: Rick Neuheisel Gets Carried off the Field by his Players after Practice

Via The Deep Post  |  December 01, 2011
You can’t help but feel somewhat bad for a class act like Rick Neuheisel. The guy has had a rough stretch the last couple years at UCLA and didn’t quite live up to the high expectations EVERYONE, including himself, had for the UCLA program.  Now granted, he does get quite a large buyout; I don’t feel bad for him in that aspect, but you can tell he has had an impact...

Here's Nelson Rosario catching one of his two touchdowns from last night's Pac-12 title game.

While Rick Neuheisel cried tears of sadness following his final practice as head coach of UCLA Wednesday, everyone else cried tears of joy. Alright, so maybe I’m in the minority as an emotionally shallow person who didn’t buy into Rick’s hype. The last four years of the program were wasted. There’s no way around it. [...]
