UC regents approve UCLA's Big Ten move, include conditions - Did Martin Jarmond (UCLA AD) insult Rutgers Football?

"You're not playing [Rutgers] every week," Jarmond said while speaking at a Sports Business Journal conference in Las Vegas last week.

Edited:
If this was a reference about the time and high cost of traveling across the country (especially for non-revenue sports), then why did he mention Rutgers?

Why not just say the high cost of traveling across country to the east coast conference teams.

"You're not playing [Rutgers] every week," Jarmond said while speaking at a Sports Business Journal conference in Las Vegas last week.

Not an insult. He was referring to travel time and distance.

 

[RC1991]

That just seemed to be a completely unnecessary dig. What an ass.

He also said the benefits far outweigh the challenges in the same comment regarding Rutgers. Use a positive spin and he could have been saying good thing we don't play Rutgers every week for the challenge to not lose.

I agree with above. He was talking about travel and nothing positive or negative about Rutgers.

 

[RCBeta79]

He could have said Penn State (near no major airport), but he chose Rutgers.

Our fanbase is soooo thin skinned.

Not a dig, guys. This was in regards to travel

How about the actual context for three quote?
Normally I would assign this to simple ignorance and lack of reading comprehension but as a Rutgers alum, that doesn't look good for the rest of us.
So it must be deliberate trolling?



Those enhancements include providing about $6.3 million to academic support, nutritional support and mental health services for all student-athletes. Roughly $4.3 million will be for food, requiring breakfast and lunch on campus for all UCLA athletes, professional dietitian services and nutritious meals while they are traveling.

"You're not playing [Rutgers] every week," Jarmond said while speaking at a Sports Business Journal conference in Las Vegas last week. "In the grand scheme of things, it's not that much. The benefits far outweigh those challenges."

Agree, saying "You're not playing [Rutgers] every week," is referring to travel and Rutgers was used because it is the B1G program that is the farthest away.

 

[RC1991]

Ah ok fine if referring to travel.

Without even reading the article, I can tell the quote is about travel because of the context of the move to the B10.

Feel better now?

Perhaps it is because NJ is the farthest B10 state from CA

[RUnTeX]

Definitely has to do with travel.

While distance as the crow flies is further to NJ, in terms of travel time it'll likely take longer to get to State College.

Sheeez, some guys need to get their nails done.

😂 And if our fanbase was as good at fundraising as we are at whining — we’d be Alabama
