He’s also always been a corny, girls soccer dad and he’s delusional. Pete thinking he could be some culture setter for businesses was always fucking insane. I’m sure there are some businesses that will light money on fire for a presentation from him, but it was always ridiculous. He’s a football coach.
Now, he gets to do UW’s NIL stuff and he’s completely out of touch and obviously shitty at it. -

Of course we are falling behind. This isn't a game UW has ever wanted to participate in. They hired someone to tick off a few boxes, but culturally I think the admin dislikes the idea of it. They already feel dirty by having to rely on nasty testosterone-laden football to fund the olympic sports they cherish. Now they have to figure out how to pay those guys through third parties.
Schools that care about winning had a plan in place before this ever became legal. Almost immediately, BYU figured out how to get their walk-ons tuition paid, essentially creating more scholarships to give out than other schools. What did we do? Hire a social media intern who seems more concerned about promoting her ideology and hobbies than she does about doing her job.
And wait until some of our guys do start getting paid. It won't be long until the cry you hear from UW is not about how we are falling short versus the other programs, but how there is now a financial inequity between the male and female athletes. Title IX applied to NIL distribution won't be far behind.
