I don't think that the athletic program dictates academics

for Cal, any more than Stanford, the Ivy's, or any other university. I'm from the school of thought that Cal could be top 25 in football if they ever decided to do it. They have everything they need to be a top football school except the will to do so.

Under 400 followers on Twitter means engagement farming

Yeah makes one think there is an ulterior motive here.**

More likely that some B12 schools realize they can't hang in the House era

That $20M+ is going to be tough for just about everyone. It's
Big12 guy • 08/21/25 05:18 AM ET
Dunno. But to have their scenic, historical stadium no longer in big time
Maroon Baboon • 08/20/25 01:11 PM ET
They had everything, the history, tradition,
Big12 guy • 08/20/25 01:19 PM ET
That's a parody account, bro.**

Some refuse to stop and think for a second

Ouch, I thought it was funny, as humor has an element of truth. **
Big12 guy • 08/20/25 08:46 PM ET
Not surprised given that Cal wanted to discontinue sponsoring its men's
VTHokie2000 • 08/20/25 11:55 AM ET
I fully support the thought process
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/20/25 11:22 AM ET
You hit the nail on the head!!**

Big12 guy • 08/20/25 11:31 AM ET
My experience living in CA says otherwise
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/20/25 11:56 AM ET
Click bait imho
MrFantastic! • 08/20/25 11:12 AM ET
I think a lot of schools will have to make this choice in the near future.

Where does UVA sit on this issue?**
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/20/25 11:23 AM ET
I'm only guessing, but UVA has spent hundreds of million dollars in
manassashoo • 08/20/25 12:30 PM ET
UVA is taking a different tack but they are bulding the bench

When was the last major renovation done to Scott Stadium? I ask because
VTHokie2000 • 08/20/25 01:01 PM ET
Most recent upgrade to Scott is bringing in Chick Fil A so fans
manassashoo • 08/20/25 02:02 PM ET
Even if they are not officially a package deal, they could be unofficially
VTHokie2000 • 08/20/25 02:19 PM ET
Well, KU was vetted by the Big 10, rejected, then built a new stadium. **
Big12 guy • 08/20/25 02:37 PM ET
True. I don't know if KU and UVA have similar priorities or not.
VTHokie2000 • 08/20/25 02:44 PM ET
I think the B1G would still take both or just UVA with someone else.**
