https://instagr.am/p/DMiYw8XuMmLhey jeff, wuz talking with a longtime fellow golf course architecture enthusiast (sr partner at nashville's largest law firm, diehard volunteer sports fan and a member of augusta national & the honors club) & in response to my questions regarding title ix tole me "billy, i've got associates that could devise a workable plan to make berkeley title ix compliant in 15 minutes" with a chuckle
so here's the counters from the vols streamlined
18 programs with sec media dollars vs cal's bloated bureaucratic
28 programs with reduced share acc media dollars:

NOT true, the university's largest donors
the builders of berkeley are not demanding the presence of these losing programs that are poorly attended & ignored by the student body and alums
how **** works in the sec/deep south: my golf buddy for years has invited out the vols men's & women's golf teams including the head coaches and athletic director to augusta national every spring (and on the final night in the butler cabins hands over a check for $250,000 for each program)...well one year he wuz upset with one of the coaches so that spring he just invited one of the teams & not the athletic director...low key southern hospitality message sent, that summer the athletic director fired the failing coach & my buddy invited everybody out to augusta the next spring without anybody ever mentioning anything
how **** works in berkeley: the bureaucrats in the athletic department will set remarkably low metrics & then say they
SOLD OUT the student section of its allocation even tho memorial stadium will have potentially
40,000+ EMPTY seats for the wagner game because the outta touch white management team
FAILED to offer
FREE tixs to
ALL berkeley students...yeah there's an art to being a disingenuous bureaucrat that manipulates the facts, kinda waiting for the announcement that cal hoops student section is
SOLD OUT this season too despite once again finishing at the bottom of the acc in attendance
