Athletics
UCLA has a renowned athletic program and currently has the most national championships of any NCAA division 1 school with over 100 championships. Recently, the basketball team has been in a rut, but there is hope after this recent recruiting class. The football team has been a disappointment for a long time and there does not seem to be much hope in the near future. Many of the smaller sports such as gymnastics, soccer, volleyball, water polo, baseball, and softball have carried the UCLA name well. These teams have been more successful recently and have performed well. Most students seem to be extremely apathetic about the athletic teams here which is disappointing; however, much of the apathy may be due to poor performance. Many students do partake in IM sports which provides many opportunities to play or referee. The gym is routinely packed with people and there are always people to play pick-up basketball with. Personally, I feel disappointed in the performance of the two major money makers (basketball and football) and the apathy of many students.
