That's what should run on the Jumbotron in the fourth quarter as UW trails Michigan State 34-17

So the takeaway is the University of Washington can't compete with USC and Oregon in paying college football players to wear their colors?

It's more that Washington would rather look at everything from a participatory perspective. Words like "compete" and "money" make leadership shiver, and not in a good way.

C'mon maaaan. Just get Gates behind proving a championship football program can be built upon a 100% plant based diet and the $ will flow.

Not so farfetched. I mean, DeBoner likes his guys to be starving.

Actually, a lot of Gates' humanitarian energy these days is spent on toilets (how to make them exist in places where sanitation is awful and infrastructure is unavailable). Since UW's revenue athletics are in the toilet, I see a huge opportunity for a branding/marketing collaboration.
