sexual coercion allegations against the former cal softball head coach chelsea spencer (that wuz extended by knowlton just months prior at the recommendation of the EVIL as **** JENNIFER SIMON-O'NEIL)

chancellor lyons, you need to look in the mirror and ask you what kinda person do you strive to be??

are you gonna address these DISTURBING allegations with the berkeley community, after the women's swimmers abuse allegations why did you promote jenny to co athletic director and then just recently extend her $500,000 salary this past july 1st??

the cal women's soccer team is now 0-2-2 on the season after losing to an excited low mid major program (with minimal financial resources unlike cal) kinda like softball, volleyball, lacrosse, field hockey, cross country & track & field that are basically uncompetitive under the FAILED leadership of non berkeley grad JENNIFER SIMON-O'NEIL

the women's hoops team despite generational marketable talent lulu "let it fly" twidale is making no inroads in selling tixs or increasing the fan base particularly among the critically needed student body despite a FUN team that won 21 games last season, that's just an utter failure of an inept marketing department aka the rebranded strawberry creek studios that is incapable of competing in today's 6 second attention span economy at a time that the valkyries are SOLD OUT on gamedays with 18,046 new fans for the wnba expansion franchise (which got highly effective innovative targeted marketing at previously ignored consumer sectors *lgbt)

rich, when are you gonna hold your worthless bureaucrat co-athletic directors accountable??

this is cal women's athletics (as enabled by a well intended but feckless chancellor that don't give 2 ***** about the experiences of berkeley's female student athletes (we will NEVER forget the abused women's swimmers)#

so who is the current coach for the cal women's soccer team (that has had his contracted extended by JENNIFER SIMON-O'NEIL)??

https://instagr.am/p/DPwvSUXktaj
that would be head coach neil mcguire, read here about the current lawsuit allegations of bullying & harassment against him and the uc regents, sound familiar??

https://instagr.am/p/DcmEDuHBmMe
chancellor lyons, why would any student athlete parent (except those from maybe the all white elite prep school sports of lacrosse & field hockey that are from some of the wealthiest enclaves on planet earth that are putting out varsity blues admission vibes) want to send their daughter to berkeley to play sports under your watch??

and whose paying for all these women student athlete lawsuits, the BIG GIVE??

Part of changing a program is getting everyone, top to bottom, on the same page. I know Tosh & Ron get it and are working on it, and I see a lot of progress.

There's still work to be done.

Displaying "GET LOUD" when we have the ball on 4th and 3 is unserious. Come on, guys. https://t.co/Nu4T4ntFk5
