I can take some guesses. We're about 40 Million residents, likely more with undocumented immigrants. Asian and Indian American families put a high priority on education, and the UC has chosen to bring in foreign students to pad their budgets (high out of state fees). We built one new campus and expanded a few.

An acquaintance's son applied to 18 schools! Some families are choosing more reasonable options in out of state public schools.

Correct. But has anyone ever done both successfully?

It's not like combining kicking & O line.

Young and highly competitive. Big time football has to be an immense time suck during football season, recruiting, and then alumni relations. Like legal trial work or startup high tech.

Very tough. If your a big bucks alum, do you really want to give $5M or $10M to retire debt on an out of control project? It takes 10-20 of them to make a sizable dent. Then there are ongoing yearly deficits and a bad basketball team.

$448 Million in debt, thank you Sandy Barbour and Teresa Gould.

How much of the construction cost was raised before they broke ground? What was the ICA debt before the new facilities?

What is our department debt?

Original proponent of gender assignment highly arrogant, and wrong.

Worl News Daily Report: CALIFORNIA MAN SUES HIS PARENTS FOR $1.8M FOR DRESSING HIM UP AS A GIRL UP TO THE AGE OF 14

When he expressed his desire to be a boy, they requested he have a sex change operation. (They always wanted a girl?)

It seems the past 3-4 years this has become the new hot discussion for the SJW, but rarely do they mention the astronomical suicide rates for these young people with gender dysphoria. When they do, they often use it as justification for early transitioning / reassignment, but I don't see the definitive evidence showing that is the defacto best choice. An article I read a few years back said the longitudinal studies are difficult to compile given the high suicide rate and stable lives many of these individuals lead. Another article said many trans individuals, as they mature, end up identifying as gay or bisexual.

Coach Gould focused on speed, but he passed up some ballers who we would normally pursue.

Tre Lance film in the semi's vs Montana State. Most of his passes were short - 2-10 yards, primarily to the left or right sideline, or dump off. Lots to his 6'3" WR. Rarely over the middle. Not a great variety of plays or throws to this rookie. Lots of keepers where he runs 3-10 yards behind his huge line.

2 deep balls, 1 complete.
1 deep ball on a broken play, complete.

Rational points. However, you wrote "I don't think it's a thing that people are faking being trans or gay to be cool." Not faking. Confused, awkward, immature, and then becoming 'trans' gives them an identity, purpose, cause, & support.

You wrote "In fact many children outgrow this at puberty." You softly pointed out a significant issue which the trans community seems to bury.

KQED: "The phenomenon of transgender children "growing out of" their transgender identity by the time they are adolescents or adults is called “desistance” by gender researchers.

"For decades, follow-up studies of transgender kids have shown that a substantial majority -- anywhere from 65 to 94 percent -- eventually ceased to identify as transgender. ...

"In Amsterdam, clinicians at the Center of Expertise on Gender Dysphoria are much more cautious about recommending social transitions because of the statistics on desistance."

For the record, I know a group that is primarily lesbian women. The most level headed person there is a trans man. Really a nice man. But even his lesbian partner admits that "Fred", in his 40s, was indecisive about the transition. Has a career, educated, in a LTR, and confused.

Caitlyn Jenner was a two time Olympic athlete and won the gold metal, and a 'trans advocate'. Today many young people consider 'trans' issues edgy and cool, like bisexuality was 20 years ago.

Do you not believe the brain is still developing until 23 or 25? If a 30 year old wants to change genders, ok. But why would anyone advocate or support a teenager - still going through puberty - having reassignment surgery? (I believe a top Biden official, a trans woman herself, supports children having reassignment *without* their parents approval???)

Lesbians and trans women are different. Biology 1. Trans women have male anatomy, brains, size, etc. Not to mention the psychopaths and sociopaths who will claim to be trans to get into the girls locker room.

Congrats. Well deserved.

Interesting that not one trans man (female to male) appears to have broken records or won a state or Olympic category.

And shocking to me that the two 15 year old Connecticut track athletes are on hormone therapy to transition, when they aren't even fully developed physically, mentally, or emotionally.

Being 'trans' is edgy now, cool for some.

Can you please explain this one?

ABC News: Transgender teens outrun track and field competitors but critics close behind

"Some parents within Connecticut's high school track and field circle expressed outraged when two transgender students took home top prizes at the state championships for girls.

"Transgender high school sophomores Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood came in first and second place, respectively, in the 100-meter race at the State Open Finals June 4, angering some parents who complained they had a competitive advantage over non-transgender students.

"Miller, who also won the top prize for the 200-meter race representing Bulkeley High School in Hartford, and Yearwood were born male, but they now identify as females."

Sophomores, 1st & 2nd at the state meet. In one photo the young transgendered girl appears at least 6" taller, broader shoulders & chest, etc.

When did this 'gender' issue take off 3, 5 years ago?

This new issue / fad can have some very serious consequences if we continue to glamorize it.

Twenty years ago I watched a program on a man who had a complete sex change, then underwent counseling, figured out he had some form of gender dysphoria, and had a sex change operation to go back. I believe medical professionals say the brain isn't fully developed until 25.

Washington Post featured a transgendered athlete who broke nine world weightlifting records at one meet, at 45.

"“What a day, 9 for 9!” she [Mary Gregory] posted. “Masters world squat record, open world bench record, masters world dl record, and masters world total record! Still processing …”

"“She put down female. Clearly, she’s not a female,” said Paul Bossi, 100% Raw Powerlifting Federation’s president. “Not biologically anyways...."

"Sharron Davies, a retired Olympic swimmer from England, said that “woman with female biology cannot compete” against a “male body with male physiology.”

“Socially I’m for everyone living the way they wish, safely, not harming others but sport is ALL about biology not ideology,” she tweeted...."

"In explaining its decision earlier this year, the [International Olympic Committee] organization said, “Men naturally have a larger bone structure, higher bone density, stronger connective tissue and higher muscle density than women. These traits, even with reduced levels of testosterone, do not go away. While [male-to-female] may be weaker and less [muscular] than they once were, the biological benefits given them at birth still remain over that of a female.” "

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/05/16/stripped-womens-records-transgender-powerlifter-asks-where-do-we-draw-line/

So one middle-aged non-athlete male transitioned, and broke 9 world records - at 45, after a year or two?

I'm worried about the confused children who may eventually figure things out, whatever that is, but being pumped full of drugs at 15, or 16, or having your schmedrick cut off when your brain isn't fully developed, would be so tragic.

Then to entice them with fame and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in college scholarships? Not to mention adults with their own agendas. We should have common sense along with compassion.

Because men are, generally speaking, biologically stronger than women. Substantially in many cases.

Sure. But he's had one full year, teams didn't have an off season to drill down. .... Looks like his father may have played DB in the pros, and educated him.
