UCLA Assistant Football Coach Arrested for Burglary
The Los Angeles Times sports blog has been breaking a story this morning about the arrest of UCLA's assistant football coach, Eric Scott, on suspicion of residential burglary. The 32-year-old was caught in the act of breaking into a house in Norwalk with two other men; he was booked and then released for $50,000 bail.
Scott came on board as a wide receiver coach last March after an internship in the athletics office; he has been heavily involved in recruiting what many experts have said is one of UCLA's best freshman classes in years. Needless to say, we're wondering what on earth would lead a high-profile college official to break into a house, jeopardizing both his own future and the reputation of his athletes.
Commenters are already going wild over at the LAT blog: one is even calling our dearly beloved Westwood campus the "University of Coaches Looting Apartments." Clever. Others are calling for UCLA to pay its coaches as much as USC does (we're betting that both schools dole out a pretty penny for their athletics staff).
This story will be updated as more details emerge.

That's UCLA for you... not only does their ASSISTANT coach break into a house, but it's a house in NORWALK. Over at 'SC, Pete Carroll broke into a Malibu Estate. But he was never charged because the residents were so excited that Pete dropped by that they gave him a huge booster's check and a new car for one of the "inner-city" boys on the team.

This is obviously just a carefully hatched plot to divert attention from Matt Leinart's baby daddy problems.

oh hush up all you UCLA haters. Remind me again where OJ Simpson went to school??? HMMMMMM?????????

OJ Simpson is a Heisman trophy winner and a superb actor. Furthermore his alleged criminal activity was in Brentwood, which is MUCH better than Norwalk. BOOYA.

Superb actor...like in the Naked Gun series, or when pretending to squeeze into a glove?
Heisman my balls. He could have won the fucking Nobel Prize for Chemistry for all I care, he still stabbed two people to death.
Oh and btw, USC sucks ass. Suck On! And if you wanna talk about "areas", why don't you take a stroll around USC at night...
