Has he even actually committed to Cal? Or are assumptions being made based on his tweet? I don’t recall anything in here with him actually committing, unless I just missed it somewhere.
[Commitment Watch] '22 RB Kaleb Johnson
- Thread starter cyclone4L
- Start date
I think the answer to that question is reflected in the numbers. It's not. The argument is predicated on a false premise advanced by those who think the status quo should be shoveling a never ending pile of money into the university system.
With that being said, my response was actually to Ricoshet, who was only trying to figure out Muskie's math of how he derived the 50% figure.
He's not signed yet.
I'll wait to hear from CMC that we're on to the next RB before I get too excited.
Best of luck to the Bears this season.
Fun random fact about Cal football. They beat Iowa 37-3 in the 93 Alamo Bowl. This was my earliest memory of Cal football.
CMC doesn't strike me as they guy who will continue to chase the one that got away. He accepted a gentleman's handshake and the deal went sour. I can all but guarantee that CMC has already moved on.
I trust Matt Campbell’s eye for RB talent above anyone’s.
We’ll be fine at the position.
There had to be a penalty somewhere in that mess. Oh yeah F*** the bears.
On Stanford: 12 players on the field if you count the trombone player who gets dunked on.
Regarding the bolded part above.... can you point to anyone ragging on ISU academics on here? I haven't seen it.
Yes, people have said Cal is a higher ranked school academically than ISU is.... which is a fact. So do you want people's school pride to be so strong that they start lying and making up stuff?
Guess what.... Harvard has better academics than ISU too. Is that me trashing ISU academics..... no!
Now..... as for the atmosphere that you'll be playing in front of..... that's an entirely different question. ISU has one of the better gameday atmospheres in the entire country these days.... while at Cal..... not so much.....
Horrible Cal attendance

Any time Cal football comes up it reminds me about their mind boggling stadium upgrade project...
"Long before this metaphorical seismic shock, Cal had to deal with literal ones. Its football stadium was built atop a geological fault, and instead of building or playing elsewhere, leadership chose a pricey renovation that cost more than $200 million in retrofitting. By the time it was finished in 2012, construction costs (which included a high-performance center) had mushroomed to $474 million, an NCAA record for a capital project.
Of that cost, about $445 million was financed through borrowing. Debt-service payments, currently at $18 million, will eventually jump to $37 million in 2039. The payment schedule stretches into the next century."

Honestly, I want to know who arranged that financing for them, that is some looooong dated paper if the tenor is 80yrs+
With football, I've never been a "we need every position every year" type recruiting analyst. If Deon Silas and Eli Sanders are hits from 2021, we can handle missing a 2022 priority recruit if we hit in 2023 again.
The university bailed out the the athletic department (somewhat) by taking over half of the debt. For now they are only making interest payments at 18 mil year. 9 mil by the AD and 9 mil by the university. It could ultimately cost them over a billion dollars.
