Either way, he has demonstrated such a lack of character that he should be fired. I wonder if this sort of lying by not telling the whole truth would be the basis for termination for cause?

If we take him at his word, then can it be said that he’s misusing funds? I didn’t see any authorization for a $160M renovation of anything. You smart lawyers out there: Is that a basis for a qui tam action? (I think it’s a stretch, myself, but maybe not.)

I’m working on a multi-billion dollar R&D project to improve our cosmic understanding situation. I’m contributing idle computer hours to Seti@home, Einstein@home, etc. NASA and other agencies are contributing the rest.

Bellerophon blogged about this article earlier in the week but Chianti’s comments are so amazing(ly tonedeaf) that they are worth revisiting over and over again.

If I thought he knew something about football, and the way the program is most likely run in my mind in regards to that field, then he could have acknowledged like this:

Spaulding is mainly for inputting offense, so an 80 yard field is adequate for red zone offense practice, etc., and instituting plays before games in a covert way behind fences and the cover of Pauley.

That may be the advantage of Spaulding. Anyone know?

Also, Mora could require practicing at the Rose Bowl on certain days where he finds it necessary. The turf is the main issue with the 80 yard field I think. Loose sand, uneven field? Hope that’s not true.
