Quotes regarding athletics:
From the Daily Camera
What would your top priorities be as regent? Eliminate discrimination against part-time and summer students in tuition, fees and policies. Currently they are charged almost twice as much per credit hour as some full-time fall/spring students, even though it takes the same credit hours to graduate. Part-time and summer students usually have family, employment or financial commitments or disabilities that prevent them from becoming full-time students. CU-Boulder is especially bad. The administration proposed a small step toward addressing this inequity this spring but virtually the entire Board of Regents rejected it. A majority of regents, including Stephen Ludwig and the other Democrats, have voted to support policies that would give most undocumented students lower tuition per credit hour than most part-time and summer students. Repeal the UCB Student Athletic Fee, a tax on students and a direct subsidy to the Athletic Department. This was imposed by the regents decades ago for a previous financial crisis. Once the switch to the Pac-12 is completed, CUAD will receive an additional $10 million annually, making the fee obsolete.
 
Ong pulled 5% of the vote with about 112k, which was enough to swing the vote away from Davidson.
 
I am pretty sure he was a neighbor of mine when I lived in Boulder. If you would have told me would 112k vote for him back then I would have laughed, now I am gonna puke because Ludwig is winning.
