    Uh dude, UW produces videos that I like a lot more than those Oklahoma ones...are those supposed to be some kind of trend setting marketing material? Because they arent

    I'd expect the lions share to be in travel. Being the northernmost, almost western most FBS team (excluding the rainbow warriors) in the nation has its costs. Especially when you travel to Atlanta, New York, Atlanta in three straight years. Not to mention that every other school in the conference, with the exception of the boovs is 250 or more miles away, that shit adds up. The only other schools in the P5 that encounter the travel are obviously Hawaii, WVU, Texas Tech, and WSU. Lets just say that in the distance from UW to Arizona, Alabama can play against every team in the SEC, ACC, B1G, and B12. We get the P12 and MW (excluding Hawaii).

    According to the article our travel expenses are top 5, but we are also in the top 5 in equipment, marketing and game expenses. Not sure exactly what game expenses are? Like in stadium entertainment? Consessions and ticketing staff?

    Will the new Adidas deal affect the equipment ranking good or bad I wonder?
    I just have a hard time believing they are spending all that much on marketing. Game expenses I have no clue. They added fireworks this year? They probably have to pay stadium workers a higher wage than most places.

    I agree I have a hard time believing it as well, that's been my whole point in this thread. We are clearly not getting top 5 marketing for top 5 marketing money.

    We didn’t even talk about Clemson or Ohio State, or Alabama.

    Also, I think you confuse a lot of marketing with things that don’t have to do with our marketing department. Content produced specifically by UW is not close to a lot of these schools.

    This stuff is subjective and you guys will bitch about everything until we are ranked #1 in recruiting. Which is fine, but none of those Oklahamo videos were any better than the stuff UW produces. A lot of it was really cheesy, in my opinion.

    The UW weight room videos are a million times better than that Hurts one. The record store stuff is cringey. UW does a great job showing off Husky Stadium and the facilities in the videos they produce.

    The biggest problem with the brand is the lack of uniform identity.
