Everyone hopefully understands context.

42 million in 1 year, 330 (albeit via ltw) in 5 is much more than say…

Alabama.

This is not acceptable. These clowns have destroyed our athletic department whilst taking more donation money than a school like Alabama who has multiple natties during the same period.

And we’re not even asking for natties. Old blues are content with a seat cushion.

This is flat out disgraceful and this situation could not have been tee’d up any better for them (3 pro sports teams leave the market, ESPN offers multiple times, the regents seem to have begged for a reason)… and yet here we are.

These 2 should not receive pensions if we don’t get a p5 / p4 home. Plain and simple.

I have no words.

For them to both engrain passive excuses for their poor performance while simultaneously conceding to the massive dollar amounts they’ve taken from us is pitiful at best.

We have multiple natties in various sports over the last few years.

We also need to excel in sports that drive revenue.

Begs the question -- is this a purposeful effort to undermine and eventually cancel major D1 sports at Cal?

At some point, incompetence veers into malice.

I agree. I think Christ saying “a home that reflects our budgetary realities” while simultaneously admitting to taking nearly half a billion in 5 years for sports specifically is what ticks me the most.

Do these 2 really think that they’re going to find employment after uc or that those of us with oop connects aren’t lobbying to have them excused in such a way that pensions are an impossibility. This is absurd. Starting with McKeever and JK.

To both: F around (relegate to non p4/5) and find out. I think they’ve misunderstood the donor base to be all apathetic old blues who won’t seek accountability for this poop show.
