In another setback for UCLA, judge rules Rose Bowl lawsuit can proceed

Article excerpt

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied UCLA's motion to dismiss a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by the Rose Bowl, allowing the case to move forward. The ruling represents another legal blow to the university, which has faced mounting challenges as it prepares to leave the Pac-12 conference for the Big Ten. The Rose Bowl, one of college football's most storied traditions, alleges UCLA violated contractual obligations by departing the conference. The decision clears the way for discovery and potentially a trial, though the specific details of UCLA's alleged breach remain under dispute.
