Said it shortly after he was hired that Knowlton is nothing more than a bean counter who was tasked by Christ to keep us out of the red and not embarrass us. Nothing more. Unfortunately, he even botched the no bad PR part with the McKeever mishandling. And nary a word from him ever about winning or setting performance goals. Hopefully this standoff is nearing its conclusion.

It remains difficult to take the athletic department at all seriously so long as Knowlton remains employed. It’s a sign that the University has no intention of committing to revenue sports.
Cal is going to be back with Oregon State and Wazzu by, what, 2030? We are basically a mid-major.
I agree, except I think the University (at least Lyons) does have some intention in better supporting the revenue sports. But the JK situation has stymied that project. JK must be holding a pair of pocket aces, cause there's not another AD in America that would have managed to remain unscathed this far.
Cal has always been confused on this. If they really wanted to just scale down and be a mid-major, the opportunity clearly presented itself after the Pac-12 fell apart. Instead they chose to sign with the ACC for pennies on the dollar. You don't do that if you have no desire to remain a major program.
Time to s*** or get off the pot here, Cal. If you really want to remain in the major leagues there's no reason to keep pissing off your biggest donors by supporting a bad AD.
