Agreed - I think many of feel that way about him...except guess who? Cal Athletics. Zero engagement with our past. Zero passion. Zero pride. Just a bunch of zeros.
Jerome was so fun to watch and root for. I remember his soul crushing threes he would lay on teams and that half court buzzer shot to end the half in the tourney. Those were the days.
This seems puzzling that the Athletic Department is so detached. Maybe because no one in the Athletic Department has any Cal history or ties? Or even enough awareness to include someone with that background in an advisory position? I imagine some of the big donors (apparently the only people JK will engage with) share some of this. I wonder why he tunes them out?Econ141 said:

How is it possible to have an athletic department at a major program and drop the ball like this on alum outreach? Why isn't there a team or even a single person whose only focus is maintaining connections with all alums, organizing alum events, etc? Like I get a jillion emails/invites from the college of engineering all the time. How can the athletic department be so bad at this?BeachedBear said:This seems puzzling that the Athletic Department is so detached.

Yes - I mean this is low hanging fruit and is why I am so pessimistic that these clowns will fight for us when it comes to conference realignment and other issues changing the landscape of college athletics and football in particular.
These morons have been given a silver platter to succeed - one of the best venues to watch college football, huge alumni base that has shown passion for football when we mattered and often when we did not, history (how many programs can claim a basketball and football national championship), and access to a large media and recruiting base. You really have to go out of your way to not succeed with this and here we are showing "untraditional excellence" at failing.
I wish it was appropriate throw to a mud pie at Knowlton's face.
