Give it up for your Director and GM of NIL at UW. Fresh off graduation Emmy is in charge of signing the elite of the elite. Players now have agents and Emmy, fresh off graduation from the Foster Bus School, will run point on negotiations.
Also, those snazzy $100 Montlake Futures hats. All proceeds go into a pool and will be split among ALL UW athletes. Soccer, Lax, and on and on.
Here's Emmys take on paying high school recruits...(Spoiler: She's doing it the RIGHT way)
"We’re not going to do stuff like that,” says Emmy Armintrout, the executive director and general manager of Montlake Futures, Washington’s independent donor collective, asked specifically about the QB deal. “And we’re not going to compete with that. That’s never really been our lane, anyway, even pre-NIL. … I want to create something that’s sustainable, and that builds on Washington’s strategic position in the college marketplace already.”
That, friends, is all you need to know.

It's over. Anyone who participates in this is giving a vote of confidence to complete abject failure.

Jen weighs in...
From the Athletic: "Is it a winning formula? Even if current players make decent cash, will Washington be able to compete for star recruits who know collectives at other schools will proffer seven-figure contracts before they ever put on pads?
“I would respond differently to that question and ask, how is that a legitimate NIL deal?” Cohen said. “Or is that pay for play? That’s what I would ask.” (the ole dodge the question with a question. I see what you did there, Jen.)
Finally, this re. the difference in recruiting with and without Peterman....
The difference has been stark, yet there is at least some belief that even Petersen, with his meticulous, thorough approach, left money on the table. (No....)
“Petersen is a remarkable coach,” said an FBS athletic director with West Coast experience, “but it didn’t feel like he was ever fully in on the recruiting nature of the job. I think that’s a place where if you’ve got somebody who’s all-in on recruiting, they could crush it.” (shocking...) -
Jen’s able to make those comments because it’s consistent with the views of her largest stakeholders

JFC. Washington isn’t serious about winning. Water is wet. Man walks on the moon.
Unless……
This is Bill Gates niece. Perhaps she’s lining up Uncle Bill to be the Phil Knight of UW and make it rain!
Nah…. But now you now how a person right out of school was put in such a critical role for UW. It’s not what you know…. -
Welp, that's a wrap. Whoever's last to leave UW football, please turn off the lights.

Jen is so fucking arrogant

Imagine waiting until April 21st 2022 to realize UW is a joke and isn’t worth redeeming
I hope everyone enjoyed Dante’s TD against Bama… that’s the high water mark for the rest of your life -
