People complained about the effect on the players on the 5 hour flight to Maryland or Rutgers, etc. for teams like volleyball team, etc. Well. without the B1G money UCLA might not be able to continue funding the volleyball team, etc. Besides if they plan ahead they could use the 5 hours flight for on line classes, study hall. and/or tutoring, etc. They wouldn't need class monitors either, the players are stuck on the plane....
Most Olympic sport athletes are not academic risks - in fact, they're the Poster Children to validate the NCAA's mission. It's the football and basketball dudes who need the monitoring.
