I am also not impressed with any of these three. I went and read about their credentials and nothing jumped out and "bit" me with regards to supporting athletics and moving it forward like Don Kassing has done during his tenure.
I also read the information about the search committee and I am not impressed with them either. Was there any input from SF "adults" or San Jose community leaders other than the auto dealer owner, Don Lucas? Who were the professors at SJSU involved?
I just hope we're not making a huge step BACKWARDS.
