Now we know. Recent pleasure expressed by NorCal prep football fans regarding Cal's sudden recruiting interest in local athletes probably should be tempered by a revelation provided by the school's administration. Its athletic program has been told to reduce significantly its recruitment of out-of-state/foreign athletes due to serious financial reasons. The athletic program (primarily football and the renovation of Memorial Stadium) is running a huge annual deficit which cannot be sustained. By keeping recruiting (mainly) in-state means the Bears' pool of potential athletes has been drastically reduced.
Late update: Cal's athletic director has announced he will step down in the spring.
