Tyee should not be responsible for supporting the training table. When you serve a large number of athletes you simply cannot provide high-quality food en masse. Most of it is highly processed foods so it doesn't spoil. I have seen the food, and I have seen the food before game day.
Yes, agreed college kids are going to eat shitty food. 100%. Unavoidable. Plus it is cheap. To do a proper supplement regimen and quality food is very expensive. People would be very surprised how little additional income student-athletes have.
The limited time spent with the kids is certainly an issue. UW needs to hire a QB coach. That is crystal clear.
Clemson partners with Aramark (Prison and Dining Hall food leader) and provides "a self-made smoothie bar, a soup bar, a meat-and-three buffet, a salad bar, a bread bar and an ice cream bar. There are also discussions they will have everyday items like hamburgers, pizza and hotdogs as well." They also feed them Gatorade chews and PB&Js. Not exactly gourmet.
One huge difference for Clemson is that it's football only, which absolutely matters.

UW needs to hire a real OC, but that wouldn't have fixed Browning's throwing motion. By NCAA regs nobody on UW's staff could have spent the time 3DQB did with Browning to fix his throwing motion. That's something he had to take on himself, and unfortunately he chose not to do it until after college.

http://footballscoop.com/news/alabama-gives-tour-new-25000-square-foot-nutrition-facility/ Bama's 15 million dollar football-only nutrition facility, comes with 5 full-time trained chefs and four dietitians. If you watched any of ESPN's 'Training Days: Rolling with the Tide' thing, you saw these kids literally have lobster and steak offered every night. It was incredible in one of the segments when they were talking about the quantity of food that is processed daily at that place.

This just comes across as whiny and classic Jake blaming others for.
