UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero expressed disgust over the recent admissions scandal that rocked his school in his first public comments about the ordeal and said steps were being taken to ensure it never happened again.

Prospective student-athletes are admitted only if in the admissions committee believes they can succeed academically and graduate from the school. They must also be certified as NCAA-eligible in order to be approved for student-athlete admission.“Despite the fact that we have confidence in the existing process,” Guerrero said, “a breach of the system can obviously occur when individuals choose to act unethically, and contrary to the level of integrity that we expect.

Guerrero said an internal review was underway of the school’s admissions procedures to determine the best way to strengthen and safeguard the reliability of the process. “As an athletic department, we pride ourselves on conducting our business with the utmost integrity,” Guerrero said. “As I have said throughout my career, how we do things is just as important as the results we produce. Representing this university with character and integrity is paramount, not just for me, but for every coach, staff member and student-athlete.”The best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond.
