UCLA became one of the biggest winners of the college football transfer portal merely by landing quarterback Nico Iamaleava. But should there be a level of concern?

Quarterback Madden Iamaleava never played a down for Arkansas before reports emerged that he decided to enter the transfer portal to follow his brother, Nico, to UCLA, and the SEC program's collective reportedly wants some of its NIL money back.

UCLA’s athletic department has a robust tradition in sports outside of football, which makes the pay scale more reliant on outside funding.
