Athletic Reluctance

Remember that closed-door Regents meeting of October 14th? One of the two action items was approval of pay "parameters" for the replacement football coach at UCLA.

We don't know what was said because of the closed-door format. But it is evident that the "parameters" didn't please a minority. Below is the official result of the meeting:
