UCLA-’Zona update: Suspensions for brawling players, felony charge for reality show-inspired streaker

Viewers of Thursday night’s UCLA – Arizona game in Tucson were subjected to a lot of offensive behavior, most of it perpetrated against the sport of football itself in a 48-12 Wildcat win. But while the embarrassment of the final score wasn’t bad enough to sideline the Bruins — or their head coach — for a game or two, the embarrassment of a bench-clearing brawl at the end of the first half most certainly was : WALNUT CREEK, Calif

The conference also issued a public reprimand and send Gholston to his room without dessert

History salvaged: Ryan Broyles’ record-setting gloves rescued from the trash
