UCLA Basketball: Watch World's Biggest Social Media Star Supporting Bruins

The UCLA Bruins are set to take on Ohio State this Saturday, as they look to rebound from their close loss to Villanova. The Men of Westwood currently sit at 5-3 and 9th place in the Pac-12.

Despite their shaky start, Coach Cronin believes the team will return to their tough ways to rebound and continue their path to the NCAA tournament.

Though celebrities appearing at college games is not out of the realm of possibility, UCLA hosted the world's biggest social media star to promote NIL opportunities for student-athletes.

The above video shows social media star Khaby Lame at UCLA while porting some Bruins threads.

For those unfamiliar with Khaby's work, he rose to fame by calling out social media blunders like the one below:

We hope that Khaby was not at UCLA to call out obvious mistakes that the Bruins may or may not have engaged in. Either way, we imagine having such a huge social media personality was exciting for everyone on campus.

The UCLA Bruins like many other Division I campuses might be changing how NIL opportunities work, as NCAA President Charlie Barker has proposed a new competitive tier that would award each student-athlete a yearly $30,000 payment. It remains to be seen if this new tier will go into effect.

Khaby is there to support NIL, and we hope he is sticking around to experience the Bruins taking on the Buckeyes this Saturday.
