It's well-accepted as happening within the UCLA athletic department that UCLA will move its home games to SoFi Stadium...

Sounds like it is close to a done deal. UCLA will move its hime football games from the Rose Bowl to Sofi, maybe as early as 2026. This will cost UCLA $60M to $80M to break its lease, which technically has no buyout clause and runs through 2044 at the Rose Bowl

Likely a wise move. Recruits today know little about the great tradition of the Rose Bowl and probably don’t care. I have been there. It’s a dump. Kids want glitter. Touring the rose Bowl would be a downer.

Makes sense to me, more pizzaz.

It's 13 miles from UCLA to Sofi versus 22 to the Rose Bowl so a bit easier for the students to get there.

This is why UCLA joined the B1G, to get access to the money to do these kinds of things.
