The UCLA and Boise State football game was announced this week as the most watched bowl game for the first week of college football bowl games. The game easily beat the Texas Tech vs. Cal game in viewership and proved once again that UCLA football is a nationally recognized football program.

UCLA continues to buy more land, buildings, and property and no one truly knows what the university will do with its new acquisitions of late. The university bought the former Marymount California campus in Rancho Palos Verdes in September of 2022 and in June, UCLA purchased the historic Trust Building in June of this year as well.
