been running California the state into the ground the last several decades:  left-wing nut-job fiscal mismanagement.  You can see it in Cal's athletic programs fiasco, as many have pointed out here.  They've made dumb decision after dumb decision.  A good example of these types of decisions is the way they let their religious bigotry get in the way of sound business management when they took in Utah and Colorado, and not BYU.
