Ana Mari Cauce who got it done getting us to the B1G, anybody read her wiki? Damn.

Cauce has exhibited solid leadership from day 1. To doubt her based on her looks is pure ignorance. She's very capable.

she got UW's ass into the Big. her legacy is more or less settled IMO. leopard print, not so much.

UW hasn't had a great AD since lude Mike Lude. IMO. Prez took care of this one while fatty was interviewing with Trooj.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ana_Mari_Cauce

"Cauce was born in Havana, Cuba, to Vicente Cauce, minister of education under Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, and Ana Cauce (née Vivanco).[4] When she was three years old, her family, including her brother César, fled the island during the Cuban revolution. She grew up in Miami, Florida, where her father, who held a PhD, worked first as a custodian. Eventually both parents worked in a shoe factory.[5]"

"In 1979, Cauce's older brother, César Cauce, a well-known communist activist, was killed in the Greensboro massacre.[11] He and the other three white male victims were buried in Greensboro at a traditionally black cemetery.[12]"

I mentioned and cited this when she got hired. It was this combined with her appearance that led me to believe she'd be against football and anything that hinted of the patriarchy. But it turns out I was pretty much wrong, unless she has transformed from when she first ascended to the role

Because she's Cuban? Expats who fled Cuba aren't exactly known for being liberal. Miami Cubans are a pretty important Republican base in Florida. Pretty surprising that her brother was a commie tbh, there's no way their parents were if they worked for Batista and fled after the revolution.

The poster NorwegianHusky makes some great points on native Cuban political views!
