"There has been an update on the online story.
The story will be on A1 in Sunday's issue."

1. I'm surprised the Chancellor said anything.

2. A 4 month or more investigation, when they already have some type of solid evidence & corroboration?

SacBee: UC Davis chancellor confirms hazing is tied to suspension of baseball team, coaches

"Hazing allegations are at the root of why the UC Davis baseball program was placed on suspension Thursday by the school administration, according to a statement posted online Friday by UCD chancellor Gary S. May.

"May wrote to UCD faculty and staff and in a statement posted midway through a page on the UCD website under the headline “Checking in with Chancellor May: Onward Toward Fall”: “I know many of you have read or heard that we have suspended the baseball team pending an investigation. We are responding to credible allegations of misconduct primarily related to hazing. A thorough investigation is underway, and we will take appropriate action at the conclusion of the investigation.”

"May concluded the statement with, “Let me be clear that whenever there are credible allegations of misconduct of any kind, the university will take appropriate steps to review those claims. The university has a posture of zero tolerance with respect to hazing. Our students’ health and well-being is our No. 1 priority.” ..."

The Bee today regurgitates the Cal Aggie Band story, etc. Sports law expert says the last program shutdown - USF basketball 30 years ago?

The Sacramento Bee: Baseball team suspended. Marching band dissolved. Does UC Davis have a culture problem?

I think we're jumping the gun without any facts or context, especially since baseball has been a part of the community since at least 1912. Unless 'Woke' hysteria rules.

Then again, we lost the Aggie Banduh & Physical Education.

Re scheduling needs: couldn't we have an interim leader, Coach Swimley or such?

It happens to be the first year that Faculty Athletic Representative Scott Carrell's son was on the team.

"But how do you explain the lack of African-American and Asian-American participants ?"

For decades, colleges & universities like UCLA, USC, Howard, HBCU, and urban schools, have been more attractive and closer to SoCal families.

We're a science oriented school - no business school or majors like Recreational Management.

Last I read, there is a nationwide decrease in African Americans playing our pastime. Coach Swimley early in his 'retirement' joined an effort to reduce this trend.

You mentioned a slippery slope - from a potential infraction / hurt feelings, to recruiting.

I guess a potential solution would be to fund recruiting in Los Angeles, but baseball fans here say we have loads of competition in SoCal. We could recruit in the Carribean.

UCD baseball - to be determined
Banda - purged, renamed (early Wokeism)
Moneke - investigation, no leaks
SAE - banned (thankfully)
Lonnie Williams - removed

KCRA report includes excerpts of a letter ICA / Rocko sent to incoming baseball recruits. I see articles in USA Today, etc.

They're gonna wait until Fall quarter to investigate? Speedy process. s/ ... so the program will be hobbled by ...

1. No summer workouts
2. No Fall workouts
3. Recruiting impacted
4. Slow process

Ugh.

And then would we cut a woman's program to ensure gender equity? Which one? Field hockey, equestrian?

My friends on campus say construction / renovations were speed up all over campus, which is smart. They had to figure out how to fund those projects.

Don't forget we didn't have the toughest Spring schedule. I liked how HR became a bit more selective when he would run, but I think both he and TT may have been banged up at seasons end, even in a short season. Could TT be taught to pass first AND second, but only run selectively?

Are dual starting QBs out?

I'm told Moneke covered Kevin Durant the last 5 minutes. You can catch him here a few times.
