Dear Bench Member,

The Athletic Department and the Men's Basketball program in particular has
always appreciated the valuable role The Bench plays in each home game. The
enthusiasm and support displayed is absolutely vital to the success of the
program.

Unfortunately, Sunday's win over Stanford was marred by a number of serious
incidents that embarrassed our University, our basketball team and The Bench.
University police has identified the Bench member who physically assaulted a
Stanford basketball player during the post-game celebration on the court and
this person will now face criminal and student conduct charges as well as a
permanent ban from the remainder of our home basketball games.

We expect Bench members to practice good sportsmanship and to represent the
University, basketball team and The Bench with both pride and passion.
Behavior such as chanting "You...Suck!" at an opposing player or yelling
profanities at the opposition or game officials is in extremely poor taste and
WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

Membership in The Bench is a privilege that is granted and we reserve the
right to monitor and if necessary, terminate student participation in this
group.

GO BEARS!

Cal Athletics
