Six UCLA players have been suspended for the Bruins’ opening game against Cincinnati for unspecified violations of athletic department policies, the school announced Monday morning.
Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is the author of the upcoming book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die,” scheduled for release in August. He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years.
