Not all Duck fans suck

It's pure mockery

That is true though Knight's passing won't definitely won't help things. The most pertinent example is when Hugo Chavez died and Venezuela still had money but has slowly but surely swirled down the drain over the past decade or so.

I'll take mockery if it's actually clever. I get some chuckles from good Duck trolling about UW on Twitter. Stuff like "must suck to not be rich" with a gif of the Duck flashing dollars or like "Lanning is a bully" shit, not so much.

Knight's money has rules and strings. Those kinds of estates don't fuck around. Lots of restrictions. I've never understood the Knight hate, but fine. Whatever else you can say, stupid isn't one of them.

All this talk about money … it's also good to remember that other people (programs) also have money, and some have more than Oregon. Granted it's an estimate of NIL funding, and Phil's money shows up in other areas (like the permanent football endowment). But I still expected to see them higher on this list and Washington lower.
Note, no private schools because of incomplete data, so you're missing USC and Miami, which I'm sure are way, way up the list. The one that jumped out at me was Indiana, but when you think about them you have to remember they have Kelley, which is a very good B school (back up program for the MBAs who don't get into the bigs) and which sends finance bros to Wall St in bunches. Those guys write checks. Indiana is not a poor and apparently is serious about football.

You understand that we aren't dipping pen into quill and posting via carrier pigeon right?
-
That list seems wrong
-
Yes they do
-
My guess is that most ducks want Indiana in a title game, would be okay(ish) with a rematch of Ohio State, but Penn State would be the least desirable matchup. So it's in their best interest that UW gets the upset here.

Based on what you read here and on dogman on the matter? Yes, I'm sure it does.
