Yes, Woods said in the almost hour-long KCRA interview that football is on campus in 2026.

Well, since that was me, here you go. Dr. Woods should be held accountable by the local media. He has made promises best not uttered. I have been highly critical of his public ineptness at managing expectations.

Earlier this year, the local media gave him a relatively free pass on asking the tough follow-up questions. But the growing missteps left no alternatives. I give him credit for doing an almost hour-long interview with KCRA, an apparent attempt to do some damage control.

As for LeBron Antonio Hill, the opinion writer, he’s been overwhelmingly negative. And, those are his opinions, but his starting point leads him to that outcome. His priorities and vision for the university seem to clash or are not in sync with what Woods is trying to do. His calling out the non-deliverables? Absolutely. I wonder if his last op-ed would have been written differently if he had done the work Brandi did in the interview with Woods.

Also, the Bee ran an upperclassman's critical op-ed, but he doesn't speak for the entire student body, and they should run a counter-opinion by another student.

Woods does deserve credit for getting the student fees locked in to support athletics, and for improving the basketball venue, hopefully a short-term fix.

As for the future, who knows? Hopefully, not a bust.
