In 1980, UCLA was the runner-up in the NCAA basketball tournament.  4 freshmen on that squad received cars, that later was one of the reasons the Bruins got put on probation.  Who were those 4 players that got the "new rides?"

The only guy I remember off that team is Kiki Vanderwege, and I don't think he was a freshman...

It was so long ago...it's hard for me to remember much from then...

Except, of course, I do remember that's the last year the Boilermakers were in the Final 4...😁
