UCLA parts ways with AD Martin Jarmond after six years, per the California Post’s Ben Bolch. Chancellor Julio Frenk in a message to campus: “UCLA must have an athletics model that leads — not just keeps pace. … UCLA Athletics currently carries a significant financial deficit, and its current path is not sustainable. Now is the moment to build a model for Athletics that protects the breadth of our program, creates new opportunities for student-athletes and coaches, and supports itself through the revenue it generates. I believe UCLA should help lead the transformation of intercollegiate athletics: our future must be shaped by purpose — not by pressure.” Jarmond will be owed around $5.9M left on his contract. Former Los Angeles Lakers President of Business Operations Tim Harris will serve as Interim AD pro bono. (link)
