Yeah I have seen quite a few posts come up blank. It is a gif of George Costanza clapping.

"Freshmen will no longer get free season tickets to football games."
Unless those tickets are be replaced by paying customers seems like this is short-sighted. What good is a half empty student section that has now lost half their future student ticket revenue?
The cost of living in the Bay area is somewhat higher than the cost of living in Iowa...which extends to labor & materials costs, insurance, etc...That stadium with those payments is going to cost them over 2 billion dollars. WTH. Seriously realize how good Jamie Pollard actually is. Our stadium is just as good. Our basketball arena is better. The only thing they have more than Iowa State is Darius McNeil.
That being said, Cal is simply going to have to start cutting programs to save some money. A public university has a hard time justifying 30 varsity sports. Yes, they'll lose some donors over it, but the options are few and unpleasant all around. The big picture goes back decades and involves far more than most people who have never lived there understand. The situation did not create itself in a vacuum and it will not fix itself without some large sacrifices. Iowa State fans absolutely should be grateful that our athletic programs are in such good shape (everything being relative).
Mets: "can't get any worse than Bobby Bonilla Day."
Cal: "Hold my beer."
$1.2 Mil/year until 2035. Talk about a fleecing!He's still getting paid isn't he?
He will be 72 when he receives his last payment very likely making him the oldest person to be drawing a paycheck as a MLB player in history or ever for that matter since it is doubtful that anyone will make such a stupid mistake again.$1.2 Mil/year until 2035. Talk about a fleecing!
Absolutely. I find it ironic that our richest, high-tax states are often the ones with their fiscal house the least in order. It should be the opposite, no?

You can get those for free on an Iowa farm.I'm more interested in chicks for free, personally.
What? You know Cal is a university in the state of California, correct?
It was meant to be. I moved from the Bay area with my ex back in the early 80s when he accepted a faculty position at ISU. He took a pay cut to come here, but we were able to buy a house within 3 months. We rented for nearly 3 years in the East Bay and would have needed to make a 2+ hour commute (I worked in the financial district in the city, his company was behind a security fence in Richmond) to get to an area where we could afford to buy that we felt was a "safe" area for our kids to grow up.This may be the understatement of the year. I have trouble understanding how anyone middle class or lower can afford to live there.
