Former NFL quarterback and broadcaster Troy Aikman described the attendance at UCLA football games as "embarrassing" despite the Bruins' strong start to the 2026 season. Aikman made the comments during a broadcast on November 6, 2026, highlighting the contrast between the team's performance and the crowd size at the Rose Bowl.
The Bruins have won their first several games, but fan turnout has not matched the on-field success. Aikman's remarks have sparked discussion among college football fans about student engagement and ticket sales at UCLA.
