Art U's upset win vs. UC Davis made 'SportsCenter.' Locally, the school has a less savory reputation.
The athletics program at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco has been surprisingly successful.On Nov. 28, an otherwise-insignificant men’s college basketball game made national news when the UC Davis Aggies — a bona fide Division I team that made the NCAA Tournament as recently as 2017 — got blown out by a for-profit art school in San Francisco.
Academy of Art University itself has a much less savory reputation, though, as a scandal-prone, for-profit school that lets in anyone who applies. The university is owned by the Stephens family, who’ve made a killing buying prime San Francisco real estate and leasing it back to the school. Running the show is Elisa Stephens, 62, a staple of the San Francisco socialite scene with an $800 million fortune built largely from tuition.
Williams, standing a burly 6-foot-4 with an affable grin, had been out of the NFL since 1993 and was now unsuccessfully working on an independent film venture. So when Stephens asked for his advice, he gave it to her. Williams took the job in part because of his deep respect for Stephens, who he tells SFGATE “gets a bad rap in some circles” but is “awesome.”
