[QUOTE="WeWillWhen, post: 2011948, member: 746923"] The UIUC administration is not very supportive of athletics; UCLA's administration is way worse. Some would say adversarial. Couple that with two mediocre athletic directors (I'm being charitable) spanning over 20 years, with the current one not having success in developing NIL resources, a huge financial deficit . . . and there you go. The current AD is in over his head; the right AD could turn things around. The facilities are decent enough, the donor base is there but not sufficiently engaged/activated, recruiting advantages are built in, and the tradition is there. UCLA Football and Basketball have been, and should be, a lot better than they are right now. But the highest levels of the admin need to decide if they want to hire a great AD and empower him; I have my doubts that will happen. [/QUOTE]
