UCLA coach Mick Cronin made it clear how strongly he hated the NCAA’s chartered Allegiant flights

Over the course of a season, major basketball programs like UCLA make their own travel arrangements and charter planes that are comparably luxurious to NBA flights.

That all changes in March Madness, and let's just say that Bruins head coach Mick Cronin hasn't enjoyed what the NCAA booked for his team.

For the tournament, the NCAA takes care of the travel for every program.

So, that means teams are forced to abandon the chartered Delta planes for low-cost carrier Allegiant.

On Saturday, UCLA's season came to an end on its second-round loss to Tennessee.

All that was on Cronin's mind postgame was apparently the five-hour Allegiant flight from Lexington to Los Angeles.

UCLAs Mick Cronin, on when hell start worrying about next season.

Right now guys, its 12:40 am and our season just ended.

Right now my biggest concern is how bad the seats are on @Allegiant flight, on that terrible plane were gonna have to fly home tomorrow..I felt that pic.twitter.com/LQ9Zc57YKm Trey Wallace (@TreyWallace_) March 23, 2025Cronin might have sounded a bit dramatic there, but that's a long flight to be on Allegiant.

And those seats were not made to accommodate basketball player-sized humans.

I'd be dreading that flight too.
