Neuheisel on the Baca situation

UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel:
“Unfortunately, he got a little over his skis in terms of what he took in his spring quarter and it blew up on him. He’s trying to be a (physical) science major – and that’s a very difficult major – and he took two upper division classes and he got over his skis. I know there were other factors that led to the poor quarter, but it’s unfortunate that quarter schools have a little harder road to hoe in terms of how units you have to pass. There aren’t two-unit classes, only four-unit. And we bear the brunt of it. But everybody knows the challenges, and we’re not going to cry about it now.”
