LAS VEGAS — Quarterback Nico Iamaleava, the most controversial college football transfer of the last several years, spoke at Big Ten media days Thursday as a UCLA Bruin. Naturally, many of the questions he encountered were about the manner in which he left his old team, Tennessee.
“It was a lot,” Iamaleava said. “It was a tough situation to be in. At the end of the day I did what was best for me. That was getting back home to my family while still competing at the highest level. And yeah, man, it was a crazy week, but I’m only focused on my future now and I’m excited to be a part of UCLA.”
