Overview

• UCLA dropped to 0-3 and dismissed DeShaun Foster after a 35-10 home loss to New Mexico, a buy game reported at $1.2 million that drew roughly 30,000 fans.
• Former special assistant Tim Skipper was named interim coach, and NCAA rules now give Bruins players 30 days to enter the portal as incoming recruits begin to decommit.
• Nico Iamaleava left Tennessee in April following reported NIL complications, though his camp disputes that money demands prompted the split.
• Reporting indicates Iamaleava’s compensation fell from an estimated $8 million at Tennessee to about $1.5 million at UCLA, with national columnists urging him to pursue a winter transfer to reset his trajectory.
• Joey Aguilar, part of what sources called an informal QB swap, won Tennessee’s starting job and has started strong with two early wins and an overtime push against No. 5 Georgia, including a 14-for-14 first quarter.
