Once again we're hit with stunners that would, at best, get you laughed out of the room in any other profession. But UW, in all its infinite wisdom, continues to redefine AD incompetency.
The degree in which we're* fucked if Petersen doesn't work out... I shudder to think.
I imagine it'd all be highly amusing to someone with no emotional ties to the school. 15 straight years of being mathematically eliminated from P12 contention by fucking November hasn't made the sting lessen at all.
lest we forget our dominance in the NCAA tournament... oh, wait.
The whole stadium/game experience is to just cater to families who go to the games once or twice a year. They bitch about attendance but have basically given up on the hardcore fan and alum who they need to balance the budget. I'm tired of sneaking in shit just to have an experience that would even try to compete with the nirvana of just getting fucked up and watching on your big screen in the basement with your dads and HH up on the tablet.
This language is very Trump like. It's beyond hateful and racist. Many athletes work hard, coming from humble beginnings, to get into the University of Washington. I imagine accepting their scholarship is one of the best days of their lives. Knowing that they now have the power to break the cycle, not just of their family but of their ancestors. Then they arrive at UW only to have this privileged white woman throw in their faces that they are once again on welfare and that they hurting the university.
I find it repulsive would say these things. I know it's popular nowadays to jump on the hate train. To be un pc. Donald Trump made it cool. But I thought at the University of Washington we didn't put minorities in the flat beds of our pick up trucks.
If I've read this correctly, I'm taking away the following:
Spending years treating your customers like shit and ignoring their suggestions and expectations will result in them spending their money elsewhere resulting in falling revenue. Got. It.
(I guess this also serves as notice that LoRo isn't getting bought out any time soon ... regardless of results).

Jen Cohen should be fired immediately.
@allpurpleallgold: Dude. You're way overboard. Nothing Cohen said went anywhere near Trump territory, in statement or effect. Your accusation is far more racist, presumptuous, erroneous and hateful than anything Cohen said or meant. She was clearly talking about the increasing costs of living for the supported, scholarship athletes. She wasn't saying, or alluding to anyone being on "welfare" in the traditional sense.

good post except, revenue is at a record high. It just hasn't met projections. Thanks to the lies of a privileged white MAN who almost ruined women's tennis

Really? Because the game day experience is just as bad for the families who go once or twice a year. Trust me on this.
All it takes is one pissing down raining, buttfucking from asu, sitting on shitty high school bleachers surrounded by old gray hair men and women reminiscing about 30 year old husky football to realize you've had enough live experience for a lifetime

Revenue projections off? OK - fine, not enough people bought tickets and Larry Scott's network is shit. That crystal ball is murky.
But missing operating expenses projections by that amount is just shit. At least budget the prior year actual and go from there in trying to control costs.
Jesus. That is total crap.
Don't act surprised that a bunch of state-employed liberal retards can't follow a budget.
Yea, we need more of those Lehman types watching the books.
I hate dogmatic and programmed response hyperbolic shit like this.
I would hire the guy that runs the 600 Sq ft general store in my fucktarded town as AD/President over these socialist mouthbreathers who espouse to hate capitalism, money, and the very system that allowed the University to exist in the first place.
That guy has to make payroll and his entire livelihood on a shitty little store that caters to drunks, tweekers, loggers, and flatlander fishermen. And he does it and has nice stuff. He has shown far more REAL WORLD skills on balancing a budget.
So, yeah....I'm sure that using him as the bottom of the choice chain and embracing the nearly infinite people that would be a better choice, we'd be stuck with only having Lehman types.
This University is a bunch of bottom feeders because of politics. It's fucking embarassing.

Alienate Alumni...Check
Alienate Boosters...Check
Alienate Student Athletes...Check
All bases covered.
This budget is young. Look what happens in 2018 when Jen gets her own revenue in here.
