Garrett Klassy has been the AD at Fresno State for almost 2 years and is leading the Bulldogs into the Pac-12 this summer. Expect to hear a lot in this interview, beginning with the evolving profile of the FBS AD position. I asked Garrett if he thinks FBS ADs will always be the key decision-maker for head coaching hires throughout the department or if that will maybe fall off to a deputy AD in the future as the job becomes less day-to-day involvement and more of a big picture role. Klassy is also one of several former ADs that left the chair for a P4 deputy AD job that eventually launched him back into the AD chair at a different level. Has this trend become the norm? He then talks about the relaunch of the Pac-12 and why it makes sense for Fresno State. The conversation ends with some advice for those that may feel like they came up in one area of college athletics and feel typecasted and want to still progress towards the AD job. 0:00 Introduction1:27 Why Garrett Klassy thinks he was the right person at Fresno State two years ago10:14 Will ADs always be the decision-maker on head coaching hires?17:00 ADs becoming Deputies to launch into new AD chair position20:15 Relaunch of the Pac-12 discussion26:55 Pivoting after feeling typecasted to progress towards AD chairAD Vantage empowers athletic directors with comprehensive staff data, performance analytics, and AI-powered candidate insights to make smarter hiring, compensation, and retention decisions in an era where every dollar counts.

Clovis West High School was placed on lockdown after a suspicious phone call, prompting a response from law enforcement. Students and staff were kept inside classrooms while police investigated, and a nearby elementary school was also put on safety protocols before the situation was cleared and the campus deemed safe. After several hours, the initial search was called off amid reports the cub may have returned to its habitat. However, another sighting was reported a few hours later about a mile away near Spruce and Marks, prompting wildlife officials to resume their search. A massive cyberattack on the Canvas online learning system is affecting colleges across Central California, including Fresno State, UC Merced, and College of the Sequoias. The hack disrupted access to assignments and coursework, and officials say the incident may involve unauthorized access to student data, as schools work to restore systems and assess the impact.

The 2026 NFL Draft closed on Saturday, and the Detroit Lions Podcast zeroed in on how Detroit finished. Day Three lacked its usual spark. Too many late picks around the NFL look unlikely to stick. That reality shaped a sharp read on what the Detroit Lions did and why. Jimmy Roeder at 118: Box thumper with work to do Detroit opened Day Three with Michigan Wolverines linebacker Jimmy Roeder at No. 118. Jeff Risdon had him at No. 177 on his board but backed the fit. He watched Roeder live three times, including mop-up duty in the 2024 Fresno State game. The traits showed up. Roeder thrives in the box. He stacks, strafes, and drives downhill at the run. He does not shed consistently, but he sorts traffic and finds the ball. He is a fantastic form tackler. He can close on screens, blow up a bubble screen, and reach the sideline if the edge is not sealed. The flags are clear. Coverage is the biggest one. He does not always trust his eyes. He started only one year at Michigan and played a lot of vanilla zone. There is upside, but he must get off blocks better. When the defensive line wins up front, Roeder pops. When it does not, he can fade. That mirrors how Jack Campbell looks better when DJ Reader, Ty Lake Williams, and Alene McNeil are rolling. Roeder walks in as direct competition and insurance for Malcolm Rodriguez, who returned on a one-year deal. He brings special teams experience. The value was a touch early, but the role makes sense in Detroit. Derek Moore at 44: Why Detroit moved Detroit traded up to 44 for Derek Moore on Friday night. The front office believed Baltimore would take him at 45. The Jesse Minter connection made that a plausible fear. That was their guy. They went and got him. The message was simple. Be aggressive. Do not sweat trade value charts. If you land the player, the move is worth it. Moore projects as a win. Keith Abney at 157: Undersized corner, heavyweight hits Arizona State defensive back Keith Abney at No. 157 was the favorite pick of the day. He reminds you of Amik Robertson. He is an undersized outside corner who hits like a safety and tackles like a safety. The question now is where the Detroit Lions envision him. Outside, inside, or a hybrid path will define his rookie impact. The tools and temperament are there. Day Three did not deliver the usual thrill. The class across the league looks thin. Still, Detroit found specific roles and leaned into identity. That is how you survive the NFL marathon. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #202nfldraft #lionspicks #jimmyrolder #keithabney #skylergill-howard #tyrewest Learn more about your ad choices.

The AgNet News Hour continued its coverage of the California governor's race, breaking down key moments from last week's Fresno State debate where candidates laid out sharply different visions for the future of agriculture, energy, and water policy. With farmers and ag leaders in attendance, the debate made one thing clear, there is little agreement on how to fix rising costs and ongoing challenges facing California agriculture. Energy costs emerged as a major concern, with candidates offering competing solutions. Some pushed for expanded domestic oil and gas production and reducing regulations, while others emphasized continued investment in renewable energy and infrastructure. “We will use California natural gas to generate electricity… to cut your electric bills in half,” Steve Hilton said, pointing to underutilized energy capacity in the state. Others argued for a longer-term transition toward renewable energy, focusing on expanding solar, battery storage, and grid infrastructure. However, the divide highlighted a broader debate over affordability versus long-term sustainability. Food prices were another major topic, with candidates acknowledging that rising input costs, especially energy and regulation, are driving higher grocery bills for consumers. “The regulatory environment in California is choking off our agricultural community,” one candidate said. “It's not one regulation, it's layer after layer.” Several candidates pointed to the increasing cost of compliance, with estimates showing regulatory costs for farms rising dramatically over the past two decades. Others emphasized the need to balance regulation with worker safety and environmental protections, while still allowing farms to remain profitable. Water policy also took center stage, with nearly all candidates agreeing that California must improve storage, delivery, and long-term planning. However, how to achieve that goal remains a point of contention. “We have enough water in California—it's making the best use of it,” one candidate said, emphasizing the need for better infrastructure and management. Others called for more aggressive action, including building new reservoirs, increasing water deliveries, and cutting regulatory barriers that limit water access for agriculture. “We need to give you 100 percent of the water to operate your farms,” another candidate said, stressing the urgency of addressing supply shortages. Beyond policy specifics, the debate underscored a broader frustration within the agricultural community. Many candidates acknowledged that farmers are already innovating and adapting, but continue to face mounting pressure from costs, regulations, and uncertainty. Ultimately, the discussion reflected a pivotal moment for California agriculture as voters prepare to choose leadership that will shape the future of farming, water, and food production in the state.
Today's AgNet News Hour spotlighted a major moment for California agriculture as industry leaders and political candidates gathered at Fresno State for a gubernatorial debate focused heavily on farming, water, and regulatory challenges facing the state. Fresno County Farm Bureau CEO Ryan Jacobson and California Farm Bureau President Shannon Douglass both emphasized the importance of agriculture being front and center in the conversation as California heads toward a critical election year. Jacobson noted that while candidates came prepared with more detailed responses than expected, the state's agricultural challenges remain urgent. “I think most of us could probably agree that we've been in crisis mode now for potentially a decade or two,” he said. A key theme throughout the discussion was regulation. While acknowledging that some level of oversight is necessary to maintain food safety, Jacobson warned that excessive regulation continues to burden farmers and rural communities. “Regulation makes our food some of the safest in the world,” he said. “But overregulation… has turned into a hodgepodge of a mess that hurts our farmers and communities.” Candidates also addressed water availability, one of the most pressing issues in the Central Valley. Despite some increases in allocation, Jacobson described current levels as insufficient for long-term stability. “Water allocations at 20 percent… are pretty dismal,” he said. “We were hoping for much higher in a year like this.” Douglass echoed those concerns, describing the current environment as one of significant strain for producers across the state. “We're at a very scary time in California farming,” she said. “Our members are facing tremendous frustration and challenges.” Both leaders stressed that the next governor will play a critical role in shaping the future of agriculture—not only through policy decisions, but through key appointments and leadership direction. “Those appointments have a lot of direction to where the state's headed,” Jacobson explained. “It doesn't boil down to one person—it's the team behind them.” Douglass added that a governor willing to take a closer look at legislation and push back when necessary could make a meaningful difference. “We don't necessarily need more bills,” she said. “For our industry, most of those bills are typically an attack.” Another major takeaway from the event was the growing recognition among candidates of agriculture's importance to California's economy. Douglass noted that it was encouraging to see candidates more informed on key issues like the Delta and regulatory burdens than in past election cycles. “I was really pleased to see more candidates digging into these ag issues,” she said. Looking ahead, both leaders encouraged farmers and industry members to stay engaged and involved, particularly as policy decisions continue to impact day-to-day operations. “This is a changing, dynamic situation,” Jacobson said. “Get involved… because who gets in office makes a big difference.” Listen to the full interview below or on your favorite podcast app.

Democratic candidates for California governor pitched their plans to Fresno voters during a forum at Fresno City College. The discussion focused on affordability, immigration, healthcare, education, and the Central Valley’s role in shaping the state’s future. Candidates running to replace Gov.

Two competitive cyclists riding along Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach say they were nearly run down on March 21 by a blue BMW and a red-and-black Corvette that swerved inches from their wheels, taunted them with horns and homophobic slurs, and even threw a water bottle. Rep. Eric Swalwell criticized USC’s debate criteria for excluding certain gubernatorial candidates but himself skipped a debate at Fresno State that included them. Fresno debate sponsor Western Growers called on Swalwell to show up, underscoring the growing frustration with fairness and equity in primary‑season debates. A 52-year-old man from North Carolina pleaded guilty to using 1,040 bots across 52 cloud accounts to stream AI-generated songs billions of times on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube, reaping an $8+ million payout from fraudulent royalty claims. He now faces up to five years in prison and must forfeit the stolen earnings.

The March 23 edition of the AgNet News Hour spotlighted the future of California agriculture, with a strong focus on innovation, workforce development, and the evolving role of technology in farming. A key highlight of the episode was an in-depth conversation with Priscilla Koepke, CEO of F3 Innovate, who is helping lead efforts to transform the Central Valley into a hub for agricultural technology and innovation. Through partnerships with universities, startups, and growers, F3 Innovate is working to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world farming applications. Koepke emphasized that the future of agriculture is increasingly tied to technology, describing farms as becoming more like tech-driven operations. From automation and robotics to artificial intelligence and data-driven decision-making, new tools are rapidly reshaping how food is produced. But she made it clear that innovation isn't about replacing workers—it's about creating better, safer, and more efficient jobs in agriculture. One of the most exciting developments discussed was the launch of an AI Supercomputing Center in Fresno, designed to bring advanced computing power directly into the heart of California agriculture. This initiative aims to help researchers, students, and ag companies develop solutions to real challenges growers face, accelerating the pace of innovation across the industry. Education and workforce development were also central themes. F3 Innovate is working closely with institutions like UC Merced, Fresno State, and local colleges to prepare the next generation for careers in agriculture. Programs are designed to expose students to both traditional farming and emerging technologies, ensuring they understand not only where food comes from, but also how innovation is shaping the industry's future. Koepke stressed that agriculture offers opportunities for students across a wide range of disciplines—from engineering and computer science to marketing and business. As farms become more technologically advanced, the demand for skilled workers in these areas continues to grow. Importantly, the conversation also highlighted the need to support small and mid-sized farmers, ensuring that new technologies are accessible and practical for operations of all sizes. Innovation must work not just for large-scale producers, but for the entire agricultural ecosystem. For California agriculture, the message is clear: the future depends on embracing innovation, investing in education, and building strong connections between growers, researchers, and technology leaders. As the industry evolves, those who adapt will be best positioned to thrive in an increasingly complex and competitive landscape.
In a special Contacts Coaching podcast episode, Stevenson alumna Danielle Koval—Director of Compliance for Financial Aid and revenue sharing at the University of Oklahoma—shares her path from being a swimmer and water polo player at Stevenson to swimming at Fresno State, working in student-athlete academic services, moving to UNLV, and then joining OU after taking a financial aid role just before COVID. She compares working environments across Fresno State, UNLV, and a Power Four brand like Oklahoma, emphasizing the scale of budgets, the weight of a global brand, and the constant pace of compliance changes driven by lawsuits and reactive policy shifts. The conversation explains how college athletics finances work, why most sports operate at a loss, and how football revenue and attendance underwrite broader departmental resources. Koval details how athletic scholarships and financial aid function across headcount and equivalency sports, why FAFSA and campus/college-level scholarships matter, and how tuition waivers and programs like the Western Undergraduate Exchange reduce costs. She breaks down the shift from NCAA scholarship limits to roster caps under the new landscape, including how schools decide whether to fully fund expanded rosters and how new scholarships can count against the revenue-sharing cap. The episode also covers OU's revenue-sharing approach (six sports), Title IX defensibility pressures, preferred walk-on dynamics under roster caps, the increased role of agents in everyday issues, and how contracts are renegotiated annually amid early signing day and the transfer portal. Koval discusses the challenges of paying athletes while preparing them for life after sports, including OU's financial literacy programming, and closes with a personal reflection on changing her mindset from perfectionism to giving herself grace as circumstances shift.00:00 Welcome & Meet Danielle Koval (OU Compliance + Financial Aid/Rev Share)00:33 Danielle's Athlete-to-Administrator Journey: Fresno State → UNLV → Oklahoma05:31 Leveling Up: What Changes from Mid-Major to Power Program?08:34 The OU Brand & Culture of Excellence Across Sports11:23 Money Talks: Football Revenue, Facilities, and Funding Other Sports12:51 Is College Athletics Sustainable?

Dan, Daedalus and Bob. Our guest is Bob Cabral again, on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell, with four of his wines to taste and describe. He was one of our very first guests on this episode of June 21, 2017, a couple of years after he launched his own label, Bob Cabral Wines. Since that first podcast appearance in 2017, Bob has been on California Wine Country many more times. His last time on CWC was June 14, 2024, with a double episode. In the first part of that show, Bob talked about his own wine company and about having just finished his 45th harvest. The other part of that show was with Mark Tchelistcheff, to talk about the film André the Voice of Wine. Bob Cabral started in the wine business in 1980. The Judgement of Paris had happened in 1976 and it got a generation of future winemakers like Bob interested in wine. He studied winemaking at Fresno State, then found a job working at the bottom of the totem pole as a “cellar rat,” hoisting barrels, etc. Dan points out that most great careers in the wine industry have begun this way. The experience is critical and all of one's knowledge is goes into the work and to teaching others. CWC is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that are producing exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference! You Have to Clean and Scrub! Dan took a two-day intensive wine course at UC Davis in 1976 and he had to be completely alert the whole time. The most important class he took was Winery Sanitation. Bob says it was also the first thing his professors at Fresno State told him. You can't control mother nature, but you can control sanitation. You have to clean and scrub. A lot of Bob's fellow students became famous and influential winemakers. It was a generation that caught the wave growth in the California wine industry. The first wine they are tasting is Bob Cabral's 2019 Wildflower Riesling. Daedalus notices tropical fruit flavors. It comes from two vineyards on the Sonoma Coast. Bob fermented it in a concrete amphora. He used native yeast and no barrel aging. Dan says this is what the Germans do, they age Riesling. Dan believes that great white wine age well, such as some of his Italian Arneis. Supporting the Local Community All of the proceeds from Bob Cabral Wines after operating expenses go to charity to support local causes. Dan appreciates how important that is for the community of Sonoma County. One out of every five people work in the wine industry, directly or indirectly. Dan notices that in addition to the tropical fruit, it has “TDM” which is a ‘petroleum' taste. TDN stands for 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene. It gives a SLIGHT gasoline or kerosene aroma. The traditional German Riesling bottle shape (“Schlegel” in German) will be either green, blue or brown, depending on the region. The shape of the bottle can be different from red wine bottles because the shoulders and the push-up bottom are there to to trap sediment. White wines don't have sediment, which makes the flute bottle OK for it. The next wine is the 2024 Chardonnay whose name is Acoustic Sunset. Neutral barrels give more flavors than mere stainless steel. Dan says this wine has an expressive personality. The secret to this one is there was no ML so the pH and the acid stayed the same. So this wine has all the pieces, which will merge and combine with one to three years in the bottle. He only made four barrels of this one. Bob tells a lot of stories about famous musicians he has met, who were interested in his wine. Two Pinot Noirs The next two bottles to taste are Pinot Noirs. The wines have proprietary names, Troubador and Fillmore, and the fruit comes from several different vineyards. The Russian River one, Troubador, has all the features of RRV, says Dan. The last tasting is a library wine, a 2018 Pinot Noir called Fillmore. He calls it “a one-off” because he got some special fruit once only. He only made six barrels.
The Coach Mark Gottfried Show – Ep. 89 | Andy Katz Two of college basketball's most respected voices go deep. Mark Gottfried sits down with legendary journalist Andy Katz for a raw, insightful conversation on the past, present, and chaotic future of the sport we love. From covering Jerry Tarkanian at Fresno State in the '90s to becoming one of the most trusted names in college hoops media, Andy shares the real story of how he built a Hall of Fame career — without ever doing “gotcha” journalism. He explains why trust with coaches matters more than being first, why context beats clickbait, and the brutal discipline it takes to verify every breaking story with multiple sources. Then the conversation turns to the game today and it gets real. Andy and Coach G break down the Wild West of NIL and the transfer portal, why the current system is broken, and what enforceable contracts with real incentives and penalties could look like. They question whether university presidents should still be running the NCAA, debate the eligibility mess (including the Charles Bediako case), and discuss which veteran coaches are thriving… and which ones are completely fed up. Plus — Andy reveals his personal Mount Rushmore of College Basketball Coaches (and yes, it includes a surprise 5th name that will spark debate).

Bob Nelson served as the leader of the Fresno Unified School District for seven years before becoming assistant professor in the Department of Educational Leadership at Fresno State. Fresno Unified trustees quietly doubled their own pay during a January meeting, using vague bylaw changes that didn’t disclose the new amounts all while retirees scrambled amid stalled healthcare negotiations and the district faces a $59 million deficit. Workers and union leaders blasted the move, saying frontline staff face cuts and layoffs even as board members boost their own compensation. Teachers, classified staff, and parents spoke out at a Fresno Unified board meeting, strongly opposing planned layoffs and job freezes. Classified workers warned the cuts would undermine classroom support, student transportation, and campus safety, putting schools and students at risk.
