ABE low for both.

I don't have time now, but he tanked his ugly first year and pushed out some serviceable role players.

2010 - 2011: 10 - 20, 4 - 12 - Gary Stewart
2011 - 2012: 5 - 26, 3 - 13 - Jim Les

FTR, in 2010 - 11 Coach Stewart 'subpar' team battled both Cal and UCLA (7-point loss). (23-11 UCLA made it to the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney.)

In Les' first year we were hammered by UCLA (by 43 points), UCSB (27 pts), LBSU (28 pts), UCSB (47 pts), and LBSU (34 pts).

So they:
- lose a chunk of TT top commits
- they lose some current players
- program in limbo while Luck finds a new HC, which has to hurt recruiting

Given this path, hiring a new HC for next year better sooner, than later. i.e. not the Terry Tumey approach. Don't lose 2 recruiting years.

Will Andrew Luck directly aid / work the recruiting trail this year?

Does the architect play the French horn and throw a 120-MPH fastball in hiking boots?

West Sac As opener: spectacular view of Tower Bridge and downtown. Easy in - out. Budget regular hot dog $7. Sweet grass berms.

Also $14 / $17 beers, restrictive no-beer-in parking lot (no tailgating?), no outside food allowed in, beyond peanuts. Opening singer not-prime-time?

Same. Sac loves it, but we don't need it. Add seats at UC Davis Health Stadium.

Edit: does the architect play the French horn and throw a 120-MPH fastball in hiking boots?

He seems to have a lot of player turnover, which doesn't happen w WBB and FB.

His success comes when he lands a breakout star - Hawkins and Moneke.

P.S. The ABE rate is very low, possibly 2% of overall admits.

How many of these guys only have one year left?

The campus term is admission by exception (ABE). My understanding is that it is rarely used, and sometimes it's for a technicality - one class shy, one class doesn't transfer.

I believe the ICA goal is to match the same ABE use of the general campus for undergraduates. We aren't admitting student athletes w 2.3 GPAs. These are excellent students.

Congratulations.

The Spring game should be interesting.

Charles Barkley nails it - will the NCAA be ruined because of policies for 1% of the athletes?

Will these changes hurt female athletes and education for many?

You wrote: "My son follows “all things” Stanford. He told me they were looking for a reason to show Taylor the door. Shortly after he took the job, i was told by a really good source that Taylor would not work out, mainly bc he could not effectively deal with Stanford politics and the “Stanford way.” "

Not a cultural fit? If that's so critical, why don't they vet for that?

Then why did POTUS select Scott Bessent, treasury secretary? The hedge fund manager is the highest-ranking openly gay official in US history.

And Ric Grenell and Tammy Bruce? Or Jacob Helberg, undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy, and the environment. Not to mention the ambassador to Belgium (Bill White) and Art Fisher, ambassador to Austria. But let's keep it local.

I agree w previous posters. Too many unknowns. We may learn more as time progresses.

I've read about Fresno City College pushing out a highly successful men's basketball coach, wild accusations, he was eventually terminated, and now has won multiple legal verdicts. Bungled investigations, millions in legal fees, very sad.

How many open spots?

High school experience?

It's more likely that some Olympic sports would be trimmed, or football would move back to FCS.

Correct. But we don't know TT side of the story. What if he reformed his ways, is still direct, and he's dealing with a hypersensitive woke employee?

I dealt with an off-kilter woman who I was on friendly terms with twenty five years ago - we went to lunch, grabbed coffee, chatted for well over a year. UC grad, smart woman, working below her level of education. Then suddenly one tense interaction, and it became a mini nightmare.

On a Stanford Cardinal fan site, new possible revelations / allegations come forth.

To the extent the O'Brien report is real, it appears that source of the original complaint is a male who identifies as a female and that the department employs multiple such individuals. Given the accusation by this person that Taylor discriminated against "her" both for her gender and sexual orientation, it must be the case assuming the document is real that the original complainant is a male who presents himself as a homosexual female. That information was left out of the ESPN report to bias readers against Taylor. Many people would be sympathetic to the plight of a female staffer in a male-dominated football environment. They will have far less sympathy for a man in the athletic department who dresses as a woman but still prefers to have sex with women.

"This kind of stuff is why Stanford is not likely to be able to compete in football with, say, SEC schools anytime soon. Anyone who thinks high school kids from the south, or their families, are going to be okay with cross-dressing staffers in the football program is delusional."
