of course tara knows what's going on. she attends games, so she witnessed at least the parts we all saw: the clumsy offense, the failure to play the subs even in garbage time. she must be heartbroken for kate - and embarrassed. you build your house by hand. after 35 years you retire and move to something smaller and simpler. after 2 years, you drive by to look at your beautiful place, and the new owners have painted the painstakingly stained natural wood siding purple.

here's what i wrote to donahoe, copy to levin:

i'm a 35-year women's basketball season ticket holder.
i trust you are aware of the impending collapse of the storied stanford women's basketball program. despite a talented roster, the season was a bust, and players are leaving in droves.
nil, transfers, and our admissions requirements present hurdles, but other top academic schools, such as duke and vanderbilt, are doing quite well in women's basketball. national champion ucla has 2 starters who transferred in with 3.9 gpa's at their previous colleges.
there may still be time to talk players like lara somfai and nunu agara, who have entered the portal but not yet signed with another school, into staying.
therefore, may i suggest you appoint someone of stature to talk to all the players immediately to hear their points of view and their proposed remedies. these are, after all, smart young women.
i'm thinking of someone like andrew luck, so i wonder if nneka ogwumike might be interested. she just finished negotiating the new wnba contract on behalf of the players; so she may have time available.
thanks for your attention
