jemaz,
Baseball has been at the University of California Berkeley since 1892, baseball, not the date the university was established. Baseball has been appreciated there for a long, long time therefore, it qualifies as a 'priority'.
Never say never. ASU has been in plenty of trouble the past couple of years, and the State of Arizona has it's own issues....money always comes into play.
What do you see as the cultural differences between the schools your children chose to pursue their higher education ( USD and USC both California universities) and the Universities in Arizona?
Are you speaking of the student culture or the culture of the Regents?
Why so hostile? The nuts you refer to, or the 'over the edge' people are some of the brightest and most gifted academic and athletic students in the world.
