Love it!!!

Who’s next?!?!

Perhaps not to that degree, but every member of this chat is next! :wink:

In all seriousness, these kinds of gifts are going to be critical for the “top” programs. However, it’s clear, as has been said here from the outset, that in a post House vs NCAA world, self-funding for Men’s Water Polo (certainly at the D1 level) will become the norm.

That is great news for Cal’s water polo and swimming and diving teams!

I assume that this just for the men’s programs?

It seems like it based on what is written in the article.

Correct. This gift was just to endow men’s swimming & diving and men’s water polo programs. Men’ and women’s golf and rugby were recently announced as fully endowed.

Great news for the Cal program.
