Truth about NIL and UW

When you can’t compete you out legislate. So of course Pac -12 is butt hurt and going to cry to mommy saying I can’t compete because Big Dick U spends too much on NIL and we don’t want to spend that much so fix it mommy. Spend too much for who exactly ? Not the kids .. they benefit. But too much for who ? Upper campus at UW is who. It’s so funny upper campus destroys Husky football ignores it and is embarrassed by its former success petrified of the damage to upper campus “ reputation” of potential future success. Why? Because they don’t want to be known as a “football” school. The joke is on them. Anywhere east of Montana to the Mid-Atlantic you say University of Washington employers and people think Wash U in Saint Louis. An unarguably superior academic institution in their minds. You say Huskies they think UConn. It must be humiliating for the upper campus. They will never admit to themselves that is accurate as it hurts too much. A top notch football program regularly in top 5 would change the level of awareness dramatically. However this requires a level of brand and business awareness upper campus finds to damaging to the image they have in their heads of themselves.
As a result of the NIL UW chooses to cry to the federal government because institutions that actually want to invest in their coaching staff and facilities and recruit the best simply are doing just that. Upper campuses game is up. And they don’t like it. They talked out of both sides of their mouth for decades about Husky football. I believed them. I no longer do. Give lip service don’t pay up hire on the cheap so just enough facilities wise to keep hope just enough to keep the rest of the sports programs in the black. That’s the model. But that’s not the part that should really piss you off. The part that should enrage you is that they athletic department has the money. They have the money!! They just choose not to use it because they are unwilling. That’s why the UW has the coaching staff, the AD and the person in charge of NIL they do. The bottom line is with the local technology companies and access to talent married with traditional booster class the UW’s NIL program should be best in the country. But they don’t want it. And that ain’t gonna change so they cry to federal government to save them from their own poor choices. That’s how I see this. If someone wants to break down how revenue sharing would work with a salary cap for NCAA I think we would all benefit from seeing it.

The problem right now with the Upper Campus is that they seem to think that top universities can't have top football programs...it's like they think it's impossible to walk and chew gum at the same time. Notre Dame has proven it, UCLA has proven it at times, Texas mostly has, UVA has a few times.
In fact, if UW football started kicking ass again, I bet donations to the school, grad schools, and / or hospital would increase significantly.
But you are correct that the more successful UW is in football the more donation dollars roll in. As a former Pres. of the University said "football is the front porch to your University"
But doubt it could happen now. Out of state UW tuition is 247 percent higher adjusted for inflation that the mid 90s.
I guess we? lived rent-free in Dong's head too. RIP. Ts&Ps.
