Gets better...

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

The word "sustainable" has become, for me, one of the most disgusting and corrupt words in the English language

You hate to see it

The idea and intention isn’t bad

But the practice and execution of it often misses the mark … which is true in how the UW AD uses the term

Cohen should have been taken out with the trash . . . Her only hope is that DeBoer is a Chip Kelly-type hire.

That's the allure
But it's always politicized

This is one of the most discouraging threads I've seen, in a decade full of discouraging threads.

The only way out is a 10-win season with a NY6 bowl win. Anything less and it's over.

And even if DeBoer does win 10 games, it's probably still over long-term, without the proper infrastructure and ethos to win

Her only redeeming quality is the dog.

How in the fuck do you hire someone in such an important role who just graduated from business school? I read the Athletic article and at first I didn’t catch her first name and thought it was a dude.

These dumb mother fuckers are so worried about equality and Title IV that they’re willing to endanger both the short and long term success of the football program which is probably the only money maker for the AD. 2 of Jen’s biggest hires/appointments in NIL have been a Duck who likes to bake, promote womens sports and didn’t a fan of UW and this Emmy lady who looks like she has no clue about sports, what matters to players or matters to fans

Fuck them all. Fuck me for being a fan of a pussy program and guck you for reading this shitty nacho cheese rage poast.

Yep, who's running a offense that was hot 10 years ago in their concept of 4 wide, ball out of qb's hand in less than two seconds. Today more schools use it as eye candy to keep defenses from being able to stack the box and run it.

Every year there's at least one game in late October/November I sit thru at Husky Stadium where throwing the ball is a bitch b/c of the weather. Last year was 3. At first I lamented that as how bad is it going to suck to lose the North b/c of that game.

But then I realized you have to actually be in the race for that to matter.
