CSU’s have been called to reform the athletic department by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom.

According to the L.A. Times, after a history of sanctions within the athletic deparment, Newsom said that this is a “wake up call.”

After the NCAA put CSUN on a three year probabation for academic fraud on Wednesday, Newsom sent a letter to Cal State Chancellor Tim White.

According to the L.A. Times, the letter stated Cal State University systems are offered an education in exchange for physical and career sacrafices, but some CSU campuses are “failing to uphold their end of the deal.”
