Cal Athletic Director Fires Back At Arkansas HC Bret Bielema Over Ted Agu Comments

Earlier this week, Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema referenced Cal linebacker Ted Agu as a reason not to enact proposed rule changes that would limit hurry-up offenses in the college game. Bielema, when asked about injuries that have resulted from hurry-up offenses in the past, alluded to 'death certificates' - a reference to Agu, who tragically passed away after intensive team drills earlier this month.

Cal Athletic Director Sandy Barbour addressed Bielema's comments on Twitter today, and didn't pull any punches:

Bret Bielema's comments about our Ted Agu are misinformed, ill-advised and beyond insensitive

Using the tragic loss of one of our student athletes as a platform to further a personal agenda in a public setting is beyond inappropriate
