In the last 2-3 years, we’ve lost 4 major individuals to the following:

Athletic Director to Deputy A.D. at Washington

Baseball Coach to St.Mary’s BB coach

WBB Coach to St. Mary’s WBB coach

WVB Coach to USC Assistant Coach

Although those leaving might have received pay increases, none of these moves are promotions. Curiously, this all started after Janey called Fee to the carpet for exceeding his budget and then decided to have the A.D. position report to a “bean counter”. I believe all of these recent moves are related to this change. Other than D2 schools, I’m not aware of any other school that has this type of organizational structure. Jane can claim she’s a fan of athletics but she has brought us to the brink of D2.

I was on record when she was hired close to a decade ago that it was a mistake. She was a DEI hire before DEI, pure and simple. Months before she was selected, the CSU stated that there weren’t enough female CSU presidents, and a barrage of female CSU presidents were suddenly selected. CSULB had always hired sitting university presidents to fill their president vacancies, not some graduate dean of education at UCSB, which is what Janey was. I don’t know if the damage that she has done to the university and the athletic program can be reversed. I pray that she announces her intention to retire before the end of the school year.
