Re: The Other Game Sept. 25th
The BoR's requirement for strict gender equity has benefited SDSU, as has the requirement that SDSU cultivate private money for supporting athletics. The annual athletic academic performance report provided by the BoR has benefited SDSU (from the 'sunshine is the best disinfectant' school of thought).
So in that respect, I think 'obstacles' that the BoR put in SDSU's way as they went D-1 have--in fact--made SDSU's program that much stronger.
On the other hand, the snippy, bitter, and ill-informed arguments that were advanced in support of those requirements were uncalled for.
Thus, I have kind of a Henny Penny attitude about SDSU's success. They earned it--they had no help from anyone in the legislature or at other regental instutitutions. Therefore, the school, IMO, has every right to maximize its independence from both the legislature and the rest of the regental schools.
