CalтАЩs Phil Knight is out there, somewhere, but would rather invest in Amazon than Edsel. We need to start with a COMMITMENT to win and that (those?) donor will show up.

Everything we endeavor to do reflects on our university. How in the world is mediocrity in any endeavor acceptable to what we like to consider the best public university in the world?
