    This makes the WSU Psu game even more hilarious.

    A good negotiator would make the payment contigent on the paid team losing.

    Word is, Oregon always had that clause in the contract. Even had some insentives for the point spread, but you dodn't hear that from me....

    I'm hearing that every single "large" program in the country does this.

    Paying almost a million to play Idaho is special. The return on that just isn't quantifiable in traditional ways, you need to think outside of the box.

    They pay Idaho a million bucks because it's still a net positive thanks to the 50,000 that show up for a scrimmage.

    I understand that, but it could still be $850,000 more in the positive. If 50k show up to Idaho, they were showing up anyway.

    You still have to have an opponent.

    The REAL outrage here is that UW is playing two Big Sky teams.

    God what an awful and embarrassing home non-conf schedule this is. The Illinois and Utah State's of the world can be at least (on paper) somewhat competitive.

    Maybe UW could look for more "lower tiered" power 5 teams and offer home/away/home deal with us, and bump up the pay range to $600k as a enticement.

    I still believe in the old adage "iron sharpens iron" and would rather play a non-conf schedule where we get tested and are then ready for conf-play as opposed to having three scrimmages, then fucking the dog against say a bad Arizona team on the road week 4

    This.

    (futile) Note to AD: This team is above the 0-4 win range now. It's okay to schedule teams more challenging than Cream Puff State and Colorado School of Mines. Let's put Oklahomo, Michigan, Miami (who isn't even that good), Ohio State, and Nebraska (see Miami) back on there. Rutgers should never be the big game.

    We've scheduled Michigan home and home in the last year.

    UW = John
    Idaho & PSU = Hookers
    UW AD = Pimp

    Life is really just one big game of prostitution.

    It's a start. I still see a ton of Hawaiis and Little Sky teams. I get that some of them are good now (relative to 25 years ago, when there weren't faggy 85 scholarship limits), but nobody really gives a fuck about Eastern.
