I agree with Mar. gone are the scholarship days where you play to get an paid education. I do not agree that new new President will make a difference. Jane rasied the stundent fees to cover to current cost of athletics. Whether you like her or not, she has been a strong suporter of athletics (minus the crappy mascot change)--ask the coaches and athletic department. A new President will not be able to do anything different to battle the Power 4 take over of professional college sports. They system is rotten and even a lot of the power 4 schools, and coaches, do not like it. Playeres love it because they are always a free agent. I love going to Long Beach athletic events and support many teams with $$ and attendance. I will always be a Long Beach fan. I have accepted the fact that Prospector Pete and the 49ers will never return--you can't go back. Go Beach!!!!

MAR. What you say is unfortunately so teue.The new national leadership will just make it worse as it t will further promote this trajectory.
Hopefully we will get a new college president at CSULB who will make things better.
