This sport has gotten so strange yet somehow become a model of unrestricted capitalism to be studied. Unrestricted capitalism with no salary cap.
I’ve always hoped to see a Richard Branson type buy an MLB team and spent 2 or 3 years buying the best player at each position and fielding a billion dollar all star team that is coached by AI. It will either become the greatest sports dynasty in history or forgotten failed Bio-dome level social experiment. -
Get back on your meds @dtd this is gonna be a stressful month for you

Why not both?

Have to agree with the duck on this one. If UW wanted to be a major player, it could. And that is college football today. You are either a major player ($$$) or you aren't.
UW has chosen its path.

In its present form, NIL can't be funded by Universities. Phil Knight is putting $25-$30 million into NIL and every other school except for maybe Ohio State does not have a mega booster like that. Do you think it it's a coincidence that portal guys and recruits are flocking to Eugene like never before for any other reason?

Can't expect to compete with Eugene
Just can't

to be fair, we? don’t play until 1/1.
I’ll take my meds on the stroke (lulz) of midnight. After getting piss drunk of course.

Ask yourself why UW doesn't have large donors to compete with the likes of Phil Knight, when there is as much money in the Seattle metro area as any place in the country.

It's a lot of shit now you need to pay for high school recruits, portal recruits, paying the TBS sites to bump your guys, keeping your own guys from portalling, ~$10 million a year for a head coach, then a shit load for good assistants, a bunch of analysts, sponsored content like PFF hyping your players, boosting your social media, jerseys and swag and shit, facilities, creative to create your own good content and social media.
In the talent acquisition you also need to be able to scout well. There's programs like A&M and USC and now apparently UW basketball, who spend money but it doesnt' work out as well as they hope.
