I'm assuming that most folks want Bernard Muir gone because of the cancellation--and the stated reasons and finality for said cancellation--of 11 varsity sports programs. That's fair enough, but is there still a belief that, with Muir gone, at least some of these sports will be reinstated? My sense is that the University will put the kibosh on reinstatement with or without Muir, but maybe I'm mistaken.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
