Football, men's basketball, and baseball rank first, second, and third, respectively, in revenue production across U.S. colleges and universities, yet our committee of eight has two gymnasts and two representatives of women's basketball accounting for half the membership. Alia Crum is an impressive human being who will bring solid perspective on athletic performance. Jesse Rogers is a leader of Lifetime Cardinal and would understand the importance of NIL. Why no John Elway or John Lynch, both of whom played football and baseball at Stanford? Tara VanDerveer has at least tangential involvement in the Troy Taylor fiasco, through her counseling of Heather Owen. Can she be objective? I have my doubts.

Stanford athletics needs to take a turn toward hardness and grit. I don't see this group improving on what we had. Will happily be proven wrong.

I'm guessing that's why Condoleeza Rice is on the committee?
