Wood is peddling magic beans and has been for some time. Enjoy the entertainment while it lasts because he will not.

He’s at Stanford now.

The athletic departments at both schools do rely on contributions from the general fund to survive.

The solution is to replace the plastic with natural turf and to build up over the west side.

Showing Les the door without making other changes is not a winning strategy. Sac State is taking big wild swings because the president needs to in order to make a name for himself. Davis isn’t in that situation. There’s no need to counter crazy.

Even a lot of the guys that find a home have been pushed out. The landscape is crazy.

Get a grip.

Basketball budget of 3.5 to 4m to be competitive with the top of BWC. Need about 15% of that for NIL. MWC will require more, and a greater percentage of that amount to the NIL budget.

Start with what it costs to be competitive in the Big West, which is 3.5 to 4. Add 50% to compete with Nevada.

Wife is former UCD coach. She bolted to Oregon and took her best player along. Joyner played for Bob and coached under Randy Bennett. Must be desperate to get back west to take that job.

Totally agree. The program will not be successful no matter who the coach is without an investment of resources and an institutional commitment to be competitive. These changes can’t trickle in following the move up, they need to happen now to lead the move up.

Which makes him the oldest coach in the conference.

The academic excuse is just not reality. In this era just about anyone with a pulse can get into Davis as a transfer athlete. What is the vision for the program?

Santa Barbara was early shifting donors into NIL. They had to do it to keep the top 25 baseball program from defecting to the SEC. UCSD has the potential to become a juggernaut. Their central campus runs like a business and they have a fundraising machine in place.

Kinda. The funds are largely redirected donor contributions that would otherwise go to team Aggie, facilities campaigns, etc.

Les is still a young coach? Jim Les?

That would cost more than the staff makes in total. For. One. Player.

Check out the ucsb crowd tonight.

UOP also in 86 and that was a better team having just beat Minnesota.

Can’t win with high school kids at this level. Les needs the support to pay market rate for guys in order to compete in the Big West let alone with Nevada. The good teams are old.
