    The interesting thing is the AD should have actually saved some money this Spring. No travel for baseball or softball would or should be more than what ticket sales for those events actually generate. Can't see track generating any revenue either.

    Not having March Madness this year put every school in the red.

    Fuck her. She fucking sucks

    This. Reading about her crying about Pete and that Pete mentored her was the final straw for me.
    Embarrassing. She’s so far in over her head. Of course she’ll never be let go

    I wouldn't be surprised if softball is profitable.

    Not having March Madness this year put every school in the red.

    Especially a school like Washington, who was projected to be in the Final Four!

    As to Cohen crying at Petersen leaving, I just don't give a shit. Results matter, the rest is theater. Although a manager crying at the loss of the face of the program plays out like a fart in church on a forum that's basically a big edgelord competition, to a lot of season ticketholders and donors it plays like she just bleeds purple and shits gold (basically, how Cohen has been marketed from day one). I wouldn't be shocked at all to learn that she never actually cried.

    I think people give athletic directors too much credit and too much blame. Getting lucky with coaching hires is--by far--their primary contribution to winning. The last 11 months or so of Washington athletics has been one of the biggest sporting disasters of my lifetim, and I think everyone wants somebody to point the finger at. I don't know why Cohen should have been ready for it, though, when absolutely nobody else saw it coming. A year ago, she had a Mount Rushmore football coach who was going to retire here, the top football recruiting class in the conference, a big dick quarterback who was going to finally push the program over the NY6 hump, a basketball coach who won conference coach of the year his first two years, a Final Four team with two lottery picks©, crew progrum crushing it, softball progrum crushing it, baseball and soccer programs... I don't know, I vaguely recall reading good things.

    Point is, I don't think she was personally responsible for the above, and I don't think she's personally responsible for it all going to shit. Almost all of it going to shit was completely out of her control. So I'm more, "Whatever. Lake and Hopkins: Do your fucking jobs."

    I still can’t believe I said they were a final four team.
    That was the old Fudgie.

    I was right about @FireCohen. Are your eyes open @YellowSnow? Fuck you @DerekJohnson for calling me weird for taking that handle. The moment she handed the keys to no ballz without a proper search put the rope around program's neck.

    I think it was the Walla Walla billionaire pointed out that when they won the softball championship back in 09 or 08, they actually lost like a million dollars due to all the travel. People love the softball program but it's not like tshirts were flying off the shelves, or softball tickets are all that pricey. Softball does some serious travelling for a majority of the season as well. It would be great if they were revenue generating, but ultimately its just Mens hoops and Football that float the majority of revenue. Peter puffer rowers draw a big crowd on race day but those viewers are penny pinching cake eaters.

    Also, does someone have link to Cohen crying article? In her defense I also cried, and am on the verge of tears all the time at the current state of affairs with the football team.
    Row peter puffering has a $14 million endowment cuz rich ass alums. No UW non revenue sport is even close to that. All of the men’s schollies come straight from that endowment.
    I just wanted to refer to you as a cake eater. Had I said Heber City Cake Eater it would have been too obvious. ;)
