UCLA's Jim Mora has stepped into an unwinnable argument.
The Bruins play back-to-back Thursday night games, traveling to Stanford this week and hosting California in the Rose Bowl next week.
"I'm not unhappy about a Thursday night game," Mora said. "I don't think it's fair to the student athletes — and remember we call them student-athletes — to have to play back-to-back Thursday games, especially before midterms."
UCLA has midterms the week after its game against California.
This, of course, is the deal since the Pac-12 Conference sold its product for $3 billion in television pacts.
