    CBS: UC Davis equestrian teammates file federal lawsuit after DI program cut, ask university to reinstate

    "They are listed as "Jane Does 1-4" in a suit that names UC Davis, Chancellor Gary May, Athletic Director Rocko DeLuca and several others as defendants.

    "Two of the women represented in the lawsuit joined the team this past fall and two were recruited to join the team in the upcoming fall 2026 season.

    " 'The allegations in the complaint, they center around fraud," said William Janicki, the attorney representing the student-athletes."

    Have fun defending yourself against the UC. The UC is a law firm that sometimes dabbles in education.

    These athletes need to have a conversation with the family that donated 120 million to the vet school, perhaps funding the equestrian team could be a condition of this incredible gift.

    You are so right about the UC system. They have invested 100's of millions of dollars in the last few decades with retainer fees to firms to make sure that the best firms in CA do NOT go against them. I am sure that the handlers for the Vet school donation have already locked up the donation before going public. Rocko having an outside firm to look at the UCD's department is all the defense that the school needs to avoid a loss in court.

    I believe they claim to be self funded.
