    I get the jump coming in ‘26 but can someone give me the cliff notes of how an athletic program spends so much fucking money and despite more TV rev than ever, they still operate at a deficit? With the fucking ridiculous cost of tuition do those streams not bleed together? Edjumakate me.
    Our ticket sales suck for football and basketball. We are still paying Jimmy LAke and stadium debt. It's hard.

    Packing the stadium for a year or two makes a big difference though.
    Ticket sales are going to be through the roof because the spares will be eaten up y midwesterners

    Win and the fans will come
    I actually don't think it's true that UW fans will sell out HS any more. The stadium will be 1/3 visiting fans every home game.
    Give fans a reason to go with consistent success and they will be there.

    When Petersen was here butts were in the seats
    They still didn't sell out every game with UW fans, only. I was at them. USC and Tree in 2016, yes. Not the Arizona-type games, though.

    who cares opposing fans take up 20-30 percent of seats. Big $ to the program, that gives them the ability to do everything they need to become better at football.

    Name a west coast team/venue that doesn't have the same phenomenon.... transplants, people like to travel to west coast cities, etc.

    Dodger Stadium, Warriors, Lakers, etc.

    I happen to think Big 10 will reinvigorate the local Seattle UW fanbase quite a bit though, especially with the new teams coming in.

    True but attendance was pretty good with many sellouts or close to sellouts.

    Add in more away fans and it's fine

    Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State, UCLA, USC, Penn State, Michigan State, maybe even Minnesota and Nebraska all are games that will move the needle.

    Oregon nuff said. Cuog is a maybe but nuff said

    The rest of the B1G? Mostly meh, but if the program is good it'll be fine.

    Can’t wait to see Rutgers in Seattle — 8pm in the middle of a rain storm. Special

    I remember kicking the shit out of Rutgers and Illinois at home in 2014-16.

    Beat destroying Arizona, Colorado, etc.

    Fuck off! No one is getting more excited about Illinois and Northwestern coming to town. This move only saves you from being banished to the depths of G5. There is no extra sauce involved.

    Attendance would have dwindled in the pac12. Getting usc oregon and sometimes Penn state Wisconsin mich or tosu coming out is a big deal. Those team travel even if we don't fill the stadium ourselves.

    Kliakoff is probably on vacation. As He was when we had to cut it short when UCLA and USC announced their departure

    I’m not sold on this bump on ticket sales. The team is changing conference, not local demos.

    The Midwest teams travel. Not all of them, but the big programs do.

    Yup.. especially once it's 15 degrees in their home markets (as a high).

    Travelers would tOSU, the Michigans, Penn State, Wisky, maybe Iowa. How many will Washington get at home a year? Two? One more likely.

    Not Nebraska classy of you to omit Nebraska

    I'm guessing Minnesota the first year, given that we haven't seen them in forever

    Oregon and Washington are the new OS and WSU of the conference. You will be attending Columbus, Ann Arbor and State Pen soon. But it will be quite a few years before you see a return visit.

    But the visits from Minny, Ilinois, Northwestern and Rutgers will no doubt light a candle that just can’t be extinguished.

    Unlike the carcass that was the Pac12, the Big 10 knows how to take care of their own.

    And even though you are admitted. You ain’t their own yet.

    And won’t be for awhile.

    Something about souls and treasure comes to mind.

    Plus we pack it for usc and oregon. As relevant as Utah has been ngaf when they come. Same for Stanford, zona and the rest. Apple cup sells out but that can continue if they decide. Add one good not conference game and you are getting a way better turnout in a season. This is not hard.

    Through some of the butthurt flourish, more truth there than some of us° would like to face. Best of the worst options for UW.

    There is definitely some butt hurt to this. And my take may have some hyperbole. But not much. The Big 10 and SEC’s goal is to get teams to the CFP. And the expansion only makes that policy skronger. And the teams that they favor will be the ones with the most…., well, flair.
