The problem is the admin AND THE FACULTY. In fact, the faculty may be the biggest problem of all and is almost certainly the root of the admin's problem.ddc_Cal said:
At least the posters on these boards, including some of the bigger donors seem to agree that the problem is the admin, and always has been.
I hope so, anyway.
Well, it would be a much better university if the portion of the faculty that is adamantly anti-athletics were gone.UrsaMajor said:
It'd be such a MUCH better university if there were no faculty.

Let's just say that your posts didn't take that long to highly motivate me.UrsaMajor said:Didn't take you long to get back to making personal insults, did it?Blueblood said:

UrsaMajor and Golden One posting WEAK today. Diversity of opinion STRONG. Cal Strong no want faculty marching in weak marionette parade. Cal Strong value different perspectives. Faculty one of things that make Cal strongest university on earth.Golden One said:Well, it would be a much better university if the portion of the faculty that is adamantly anti-athletics were gone.UrsaMajor said:

Not to be too obtuse, I have no ability to alter in any way Coach Wilcox's coaching regime. He will do what he's going to do. Have no fear that I will be detrimental to his efforts.
So, you must be addressing your comments to my convictions. You will not change my convictions by repeating the trite retort of "give him a chance." I heard them made for Gilby and even early Holmoe. My convictions are based upon historical pragmatics, not baseless zealot fanaticism. As a result, I feel as I do,
that is, why should I? His teams will either not do very well there by leading to his dismissal after the 2020 season or his teams will be utterly spectacular thereby his getting financial offers that he cannot overlook. In other words, Cal will lose out again.
Woe be it that he does well and expresses a desire to stay at Cal. Cal's administration will hire another Brockrath AD to replace the one that has already said that he's stepping down. In doing so, Wilcox will be driven out.
Where did I get this notion, you ask? Why, I get it by reading the leaves that fall in my yard!

"Historical Pragmatics" would be a great name for a band.
My comment is a parody of the Plastic Ono Band's song, "Give Peace a Chance."Blueblood said:Your post and the one that you cite make little sense to me.Bear19 said:sonofabear51 said:

Instead of the Ivy League, which requires lots of expensive travel across time zones, perhaps Cal can get slotted into a local high school league. Low travel cost, no scholarships, a student body with zero interest in football games, are just a few benefits.

OK, I'll play. If we were going to leave the Pac-12, I'd bag Division I football altogether, join one of the basketball-only conferences, and play football in Division II, where we can go back to enjoying football in the afternoon sun. I still think we have a chance to be competitive in basketball in terms of the NCAA, and I'm not really that interested in completing in the MWC for the right to play in the Holiday, Sun or Poinsettia Bowls. Who cares?
I'd then, as IAD, turn to campus administration and say, "OK, you want 27 non-revenue sports? Then figure out how to pay for them." The reality is that most of the sports program, including most of the women's sports, would be gutted, unless the campus wants to pay a bigger subsidy. I don't think a football program in the MWC is going to generate even the revenue that's being generated now.
