Its like its 1995 all over again

UW needed a sugar daddy that cared about football

Our billionaires only cared about academics and legacy

And I'm happy Phil is a football fan

I hate Nike and the Chicoms they serve, but Oregon will gladly take Phil Knights money and use it to buy a championship.

Right on cue: Washington has a tuff season and back comes the Nike shit. As if Washington wouldn't whore itself for the same investments.

This has become sad. Sad really.

Name one

Washington was cheating by playing their players. The only schools that weren’t paying their players were Oregon, OSU, WSU, Idaho and Stanford. This payola scandal led to the dissolution of the PCC.
All of the cheaters plus Stanford formed their own conference. Oregon, OSU and WSU were forced to be independents.

“John Cherberg was the head football coach at Washington in 1955. It was his third season with the team, and his teams were not good. He had a 10-18-2 overall record after the 1955 season when his players staged a mutiny and demanded his ouster. When the Washington athletic director obliged them and fired the coach, Cherberg revealed the details of a booster group named the Greater Washington Advertising Fund, a slush fund to pay players. The fund, run by Seattle printer Roscoe Torrance, found jobs for players and routinely funnelled money in excess of the $40 per week mandated by the conference to star athletes. In his autobiography, Torrance was unapologetic about the group:

"I organized a group -- mostly of downtown businessmen -- with the goal of putting Washington back on the athletic map as well as the academic one ... There was nothing devious about our organization. The leading citizens in our community participated in it, and it was of general knowledge to the newspapers because Charles B. Lindeman of the Post-Intelligencer and Bill, Jack, and Frank Blevins of the Times all contributed to it. We had nothing to do with the actions of the coaches. We never told them who to play, when to play or what athletes to go after. Our purpose was to support the program and the kids. There were 75 or more individuals involved at one time or another. Some gave money, some provided jobs or both"
The NCAA slapped a two-year postseason ban on the entire athletic department and went fishing for other PCC activity. Washington had not been the first PCC program to be found in violation of NCAA rules regarding player payments -- Oregon's basketball coach had resigned in 1951 over the same sort of activities -- but both programs had quickly pointed the finger at Westwood when caught. The Bruins were in the crosshairs for both regulators and reporters, and the reporters got there first. In March 1956, two LA newspapers reported the illegal activities of the Bruin Bench and Young Men's Club of Westwood, as told to them by a player who had transferred from UCLA to Cal. UCLA attempted to block the investigation, refusing to allow conference and NCAA officials to investigate the clubs for ten weeks. After finally admitting that coaches had consented to booster payments for years, UCLA did what one would expect UCLA to do: It accused Southern Cal and California of doing the same thing, which, of course, they had.

UCLA and USC each received three years of crippling sanctions: Postseason bans, television bans, scholarship reductions, etc. from the PCC. Cal received slightly less punishment for its part. But the mere fact that the punishment was being handed down on the dominant California schools by the non-Californians was enough to start the PCC death sequence. Proul enacted a five-point plan for academic excellence at the two UC campuses, a plan that included separating from the PCC. By 1957, the PCC had effectively disbanded, and it officially ceased in 1959.

Cal and UCLA had used their perceived academic superiority as a cleaver to break apart the PCC. Now they used it to put some of the conference back together. In 1959, the Cal system schools joined fellow scandalmates Washington and USC, picked up Stanford, and started the Athletic Association of Western Universities.* By 1961, the AAWU had signed an agreement to send its winner to the Rose Bowl (the Granddaddy of Them All had taken AAWU champion Washington in the two intervening seasons regardless). With their power play against the also-rans of the PCC complete and the standards that Cal wanted in place, the conference set about pulling itself back together. In 1962, Washington State rejoined. Oregon and Oregon State reentered in 1964, with the Beavers winning the conference championship in their first season. The conference officially changed its name to the Pacific 8 in 1968.”

During Husky Scandal Of 1955, One Genuine Hero Stood Out

http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19900927&slug=1095406

The OP acts like a jilted lover and posts an add for a morality book on college athletics. Quooks take the bait and talk about UW cheating in 1955. Another Husky comes on board to defend that....kill this thread.

Name one

The only running back Washjngton has in the HOF. He said as much.

I knew you couldn’t name one

I did. You just don't know much about Washington football apparently.
