Westwood Village, CA. Woof Blister with an SOS for Spoof On Sports. Following UCLA's narrow last second win over South Alabama, despite being favored by 15 points, the Big Ten cancelled its earlier invitation requesting that the Bruins leave the PAC-12 and enter the Big Ten.
"It is apparent that the level of football played by the Bruins is not that expected of a Big Ten team. UCLA clearly belongs at a lower level of football than the Bruins would find here."

Humiliated by the scheduling failure and by the narrow win over South Alabama, the Bruins gave up and announced that they would play the rest of the 2022 season as a member of The Confederacy, consisting of small schools in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. The Bruins will abandon the Rose Bowl and play all home games on the bleachered field at Pasadena High School.
