"New documents filed Friday in the Rose Bowl's breach-of-contract case against UCLA that also accuses Kroenke Sports and Entertainment of meddling on behalf of SoFi Stadium revealed communication between UCLA and a top Kroenke executive dating back as far as August 2024."
"An email sent that month from UCLA chief financial officer Stephen Agostini's assistant to executives from Kroenke Sports and Entertainment and SoFi Stadium sought coordination of a Zoom meeting between the parties in September 2024 under the subject heading "UCLA Football Discussion." The importance level was listed as "high.""
""Please review the scheduling opportunities below and let me know what is possible," wrote Shelley Stanley, Agostini's executive assistant. "A reply sooner rather than later would be greatly appreciated, given that we are on the heels of the Fall quarter and the beginning of the UCLA football season.""
Emails reveal UCLA and SoFi Stadium representatives coordinated discussions about potentially moving UCLA football home games to SoFi in 2024, with communications dating to August 2024. A proposed September Zoom included UCLA CFO Stephen Agostini, athletic director Martin Jarmond, UCLA athletics CFO Chris Iacoi, Kroenke Sports and Rams president Kevin Demoff, SoFi executives, and Mitchell Ziets of Tipping Point Sports. The Rose Bowl and the City of Pasadena filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit claiming UCLA's departure would cause irreparable harm and jeopardize $184 million in bond debt. The complaint accuses Kroenke Sports and Entertainment of meddling. A hearing on arbitration is set for Jan. 22.
