What Happened to Nico Iamaleava? Why UCLA QB Isn’t Playing After Tennessee Transfer

The UCLA Bruins are one of the surprises of this college football season. At first, that meant Nico Iamaleava was part of a feel-good story — not all that long after his Tennessee transfer saga had made him a bit of a villain. But these days, the Bruins are trying to continue their stellar season without Iamaleava. He isn’t playing for them at the moment. UCLA has a big game on Saturday, Nov. 7 at the Minnesota Golden Gophers, and to pull off a victory in a potentially tight contest, they’ll have to do it without Iamaleava.
