I just checked out Cal Sports Report and Jack Curtis and Jeff Furado don't know much about Knowlton either. Seems the Teri McKeever matter has caused lids to be tamped down on most news. If he isn't doing much of anything, the put him on unpaid leave, can him, do something. His matter seems to have athletic dept communications at a standstill or at the most minimal utterances. All of this is inexcusable at a time like this. What the hell gives. Shall we change his nickname to the Detested Clam?

Is Knowlton's office in the same building as the rest of the athletics offices or is he in the same spot as Carol Clueless-Useless? I believe HG Wells wrote a book (later became a movie) entitled "The Invisible Man" and that certainly describes Knowlton. How about "The Empty Suit in the Empty Office." Forget "Where's Waldo", it's now "Where's Jimmy?" There has to be someone who knows what the hell is going on.

Read with care, this is vomit inducing: per Knowlton's bio on the Cal athletic's website, "he has established himself as a dynamic leader and an accomplished administrator." - high praise for someone who has let his department deteriorate significantly and gone totally invisible
