It's like a Vegas hotelier opened up a college.

"Welcome to beautiful Venice!"

Actually, was Rick Caruso involves in this? Because it has all the fauxness of a Caruso project.

---

It is my understanding that the surrounding community has
benefitted greatly from the employment opportunities.

---

Of course. But that's neither here nor there.

---

Well, that is certainly Cal's philosophy with regard to its surrounding community.

---

And what's Cal's philosophy on taking bribes to let in unqualified dunderheads into its school.

Seriously, you choose today to continue to your love affair with USC AND take shots at Cal? I see that USC humility has rubbed off on you.

SC financed this the old fashioned way, through donations for naming rights. Enjoy you next visit to Haas, Hearst, Bowles, etc. Glass houses anyone?

One interesting sidelight to Caruso is the progressive (politically) developer is in trouble with a more conservative, old line group of trustees, lead by fellow billionaire developer Ed Roski, who want him removed.

I changed my mind after spending a lot of time there for 4 years. My daughter had a good time, got a good education, and a good job. I know more uppity Cal pr@cks from Piedmont and Orinda than I met at USC. And the good ole boys up North still go wink, wink and laugh at dumb jokes at the BoHo as they are getting their dumbf@ck spawn into Cal via back channels.

---

I am not aware of any special admissions (back channels) for non athletes at Cal. Can you please elaborate? By the way, I am glad that your daughter got a good education at USC. Cal and USC are not for everyone, it is important that your child finds the right place for them to thrive and grow and it sounds like USC was a good fit.

You come across as a major doofus being an apologist for $C. .... $C has no notion of ethics and it's amazing what they tolerate at that institution compared to anywhere else...

This is a Cal board. I really don't care what you think about USC. Cal people on a Cal board will take shots at Cal rivals. If you don't like hearing shots taken at USC you should stay away from boards of school that hate them. If my kid goes to Stanford I will not be here extolling Stanford's virtues, I will not be here whining that other people take shots at Stanford, and I will NEVER be ANYWHERE ripping Cal. It's been quite a while, but I used to be on USC's boards at times and they ripped Cal as often as we rip them. I didn't say anything because it's their board. How much time do you spend on their boards defending Cal? Yeah. Thought so. You want to take shots at Cal in a Cal board, you deserve to get thrashed.

And here is the truth. They have great students and faculty. I'm sure your daughter got a great education and had a great time. They also have an administration that has always cheated to get ahead, they take a huge number of legacies and frankly the parents weren't very bright, they game the academic rankings. They are the only school in this sordid affair that had this much insitutional exposure. That administration is flat out crooked and their alums support their behavior. If, a big if, Cal squeezes in a few rich kids, it is nothing compared to what USC has done historically and continues to do.

That sound you hear is my keys jingling at you.

I, bearister, hereby promise, that I will never again post on BI any factually based rebuttal to comments bashing a school that a Cal student or Cal grad is supposed to hate. I will also attempt to avoid upsetting my fellow born and bred Oaklander (I assume) in the future.

82 BG was at Strawberry Canyon, maybe virgin status is still up in the air, not like there's anything wrong with it.

I knew I should have looked that sh** up. In any event, it was. Rainy **** show down there and I'm still married to the kappa roommate afrer 30 years and don't do the damn math. The kappa was smarter and a brunette but the blonde 1680 SAT with 32 c cups poli sci major was ok.
