Plaschke even went as far to say that UCLA should eject Cronin, just as he did to Steven Jamerson. He has become an embarrassment to a university athletic department that prides itself on winning with class.”It’s not just Plaschke either. That figure drops to $18 million, then $13.5 million, then $9 million, then $4.5 million in coming years. No wonder the Bruins didn’t publicize the deal at the time.
