Not a cultural fit? If that's so critical, why don't they vet for that?

Then why did POTUS select Scott Bessent, treasury secretary? The hedge fund manager is the highest-ranking openly gay official in US history.

And Ric Grenell and Tammy Bruce? Or Jacob Helberg, undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy, and the environment. Not to mention the ambassador to Belgium (Bill White) and Art Fisher, ambassador to Austria. But let's keep it local.

I agree w previous posters. Too many unknowns. We may learn more as time progresses.

I've read about Fresno City College pushing out a highly successful men's basketball coach, wild accusations, he was eventually terminated, and now has won multiple legal verdicts. Bungled investigations, millions in legal fees, very sad.

How many open spots?

High school experience?

It's more likely that some Olympic sports would be trimmed, or football would move back to FCS.

Correct. But we don't know TT side of the story. What if he reformed his ways, is still direct, and he's dealing with a hypersensitive woke employee?

I dealt with an off-kilter woman who I was on friendly terms with twenty five years ago - we went to lunch, grabbed coffee, chatted for well over a year. UC grad, smart woman, working below her level of education. Then suddenly one tense interaction, and it became a mini nightmare.

On a Stanford Cardinal fan site, new possible revelations / allegations come forth.

To the extent the O'Brien report is real, it appears that source of the original complaint is a male who identifies as a female and that the department employs multiple such individuals. Given the accusation by this person that Taylor discriminated against "her" both for her gender and sexual orientation, it must be the case assuming the document is real that the original complainant is a male who presents himself as a homosexual female. That information was left out of the ESPN report to bias readers against Taylor. Many people would be sympathetic to the plight of a female staffer in a male-dominated football environment. They will have far less sympathy for a man in the athletic department who dresses as a woman but still prefers to have sex with women.

"This kind of stuff is why Stanford is not likely to be able to compete in football with, say, SEC schools anytime soon. Anyone who thinks high school kids from the south, or their families, are going to be okay with cross-dressing staffers in the football program is delusional."

11 - 8, 3 - 1 in conference.

A D III FB program probably brings 70-100 players to campus, plus coaches and support.

When will there be targeted efforts, programs, outreach to recruit more men?

AKA 'business model'?

When is the signing date for hoops?

If true, it's bad. We are in woke times. Imagine Bobby Knight today.

Shouldn't the title of this thread be "alleged"?

Colleges looking for a way to correct this imbalance:

Azusa Pacific:

Male Students: 32%
Female Students: 68%

We have a lot of hoop alums who have had success.

Gus Argenal at DII CSUSB has been successful and previously was an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas, "where he helped lead the Razorbacks to a Sweet Sixteen and an Elite Eight appearance" over two seasons. He won 23 games this year, and 27 last year, only losing the championship game.

Some are high on Brandon Laird, now at Idaho. Local guy.

Danny Yoshikawa has spent 5 years at St. Mary's College. As head coach at West Valley College (Saratoga) he recorded a 144-47 record for a .753 winning percentage over five seasons. He also coached in Japan for two years, and logged time at UCSB and USF. SMC: "He compiled an impressive 100-29 overall record in his four years as a player, and as a senior, was honored as the Conference Player of the Year and UC Davis Athlete of the Year."

There's at least another six promising coaches.

What are his strengths? Nobody has courted him, and I believe he's the only 4 year SA to not make the rotation in decades.

"Les, also a standout guard for BU in the 1980s, had three years left on his Bradley contract when he was fired on March 6 after nine seasons as head coach."

https://www.sj-r.com/story/sports/2011/07/10/les-considers-suing-bradley/42931137007/

His last year was his worst, he went 12-20 / 4-14. The 4 conference wins and 9th place finish - both his worst marks in nine years.

I believe he returned to Sacramento as he kept his home in Granite Bay.

Let's be fair to Coach Stewart:

- Coach Stewart had the highest winning percentage of any coach in transition history (pre UCSD)

- "In all, the Aggies won more games than any other four-year transition program with Stewart at the helm"

- Had the lowest budget and coaching salaries in DI

- He taught four PE1 classes per year

- He beat Stanford

- "Stewart made an immediate impact on the Aggie program in 2003-04. Taking over a team that finished three games under .500 the previous season, he guided UC Davis to an 18-9 record and a 15-7 mark in the Division II powerhouse California Collegiate Athletic Association." (UC Davis Athletics)

ABE was 2-3% for both the general student body and athletics. Then the rate doubled for ICA (around 2012) when Warzecka stepped down, we had an interim AD, and ICA bypassed the Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR) and went directly to admissions. I believe this was documented by the Academic Senate. I've been told MBB was part of that situation.

The ABE often covers solid student-athletes who are simply short one class, or some other modest hurdle they don't currently meet. We're not recruiting SA in can't fog a mirror and have a 2.3 GPA.
