How does UCLA feel about its late, Big Ten After Dark start time against Oregon?

UCLA's decision to join the Big Ten was fueled by the allure of earlier kickoffs and increased viewership, but this narrative quickly diminished after a string of late games.

In the light of the new schedule, UCLA coach DeShaun Foster humorously noted the past experience with late starts: "It's very disrespectful - nah, I'm just kidding. It's OK."

Foster acknowledged the challenges of TV scheduling, indicating that kickoff times are determined by networks: "Much of UCLA's remaining Big Ten schedule will be influenced by television, just like this game."

Echoing on the change in tradition, Foster mentioned, "It's like the old conference at night - what was it called? Oh, Pac-12 After Dark? Well, this is Big Ten After Dark."
