Completely normal person who wore a KKK hood to a grocery store, apologized through a police statement citing that it was not meant to be a racial statement.

Bears are smart. https://calbears.com/news/2020/5/12/athletics-news-record-10-teams-earn-ncaa-recognition-for-apr-scores.aspx

BERKELEY – A record 10 Cal intercollegiate athletic programs – all with scores of 1,000 in their latest multiyear Academic Progress Rate scores – have earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards for their exceptional results in the classroom.

Those receiving the honor are beach volleyball, men's and women's cross country, women's golf, lacrosse, women's soccer, softball, men's and women's tennis and volleyball. The 10-team breaks the school mark of seven from both 2017 and 2019. The total also makes Cal one of just six schools from Power 5 Conferences to reach double figures.

Cal's men's tennis team is receiving the national notice for the 10th year in a row, the longest streak among Golden Bear programs. Volleyball is being honored for the fifth straight year, with women's golf and lacrosse posting a run of four consecutive years. Women's tennis has also achieved the recognition in eight of the last nine years, while women's cross country and softball both earned the award for the first time.

Overall, 15 different teams have earned the public honor a total of 55 times since the NCAA began identifying distinguished sports teams in 2004-05, more than 50 percent of which have come in the past four cycles (29 of 55).

@cmclymer: Random question for folks: I wasn't even born yet, obviously, but I'm curious who remembers watching the M*A*S*H series finale live and what it was like to watch something that 60% of U.S. households were watching simultaneously that wasn't the Super Bowl.
