Former NFL quarterback and UCLA alumnus Troy Aikman criticized the low turnout at a recent UCLA football game, calling the attendance "embarrassing" despite the team's ongoing winning streak.
Aikman, who played for the Bruins before a Hall of Fame career with the Dallas Cowboys, expressed his disappointment on social media following the game on November 6, 2026. He noted that the program's success on the field should draw larger crowds to the Rose Bowl.
The Bruins have won several consecutive games, but the announced attendance fell well below capacity, prompting Aikman's pointed remarks.
