My point exactly. He's not from around here, and therefore does not fully grasp how crucial Stanford's D1 athletic program is to Stanford's overall brand.

Persis Drell literally grew up on the Stanford campus and she seems to have trouble with this concept too.

As another Stanford faculty brat I apologize for Provost Drell. Both her management style and antipathy towards what differentiates (differentiated?) Stanford should have made her a non-starter for the Provost role. This result was forseen by those that knew her way back when.

Evidently not foreseen by the right people.  This administration seems very, very research-oriented.

Perhaps they can research ways to produce perennial 10+ win football seasons...
