Officially screwed

Good thing she has no say in it

"I'm all about evolving and adapting... but I'm not..."
No different than asking Husky fans if they're all in before waving the white flag and congratulating Oregon for playing for the conference championship -
"Greater good" = we want to stay in the same conference as WSU and nobody else wants them.

She’s not wrong.

Don’t act like Ned Stark and wring your hands about corruption while Littlefinger and the shady members of the Small Council plot and make power moves behind your back…play the Game of Thrones!

I'm sure she's willing to take a pay cut if fans dwindle due to her fight for the greater good.

I'll just stick to what I've seen/heard in talking with people I know that are down therePostGameOrangeSlices said:
This isnt about recruiting you fucking recrooting doog. Its about eyeballs and tv contracts.Tequilla said:Regarding Texas and Oklahoma ...
I think it's easy to just default to saying that this move is because of money and that's that ...
I don't think that's that
I think the same recruiting issues we're seeing on the West Coast of top end players thumbing their noses at the P12 schools to go to the SEC, Clemson, and Ohio is also happening in Texas ...
Oklahoma is looking at the environment around them, seeing that they basically sleep walk their way to the B12 title every year because the only score with comparable resources in Texas can't get out of their own way to be competitive and the reward for that is to go face SEC winner, Ohio, or Clemson in the CFP semifinals and get their ass kicked. So they go into the recruiting battles for elite kids and these kids are telling them "why would I go to Oklahoma when you can't win a big game" ... sound familiar? Only difference is that Oklahoma's Plan B players kick the shit out of our current Plan B recruits but I digress ...
As for Texas, they're petty and jealous as fuck at all times. They are embarrassed at the fact that they can't recruit well enough. NIL isn't doing anything for them because their money is getting matched and will only continue to get matched going forward. The ego with the Texas fat cats is beyond belief. In their minds, they think the only thing stopping them is that they aren't in the SEC ... they'll be in for a rude awakening but whatever.
Neither school has ever hurt for money. This is completely tied to protecting the money and recruiting going forward. They saw the tea leaves, ESPN/FOX not so subtly told them that they weren't interested in doing business going forward with the Big 12 at market rates, and away we go ...
Oklahoma isnt going to recruit that much differently now that it is in the SEC.
The SEC is now made up of a bunch of huge ego programs...and there can only be 1 winner of the conference.
OU and Texas are going to miss the gimme games of the Big 12 an awful lot. Or maybe their success come at the demise of LSU or a Saban-less Bama?
Some schools arent going to get the success they feel entitled too. And that is when things will get interesting.
This has been moving to a consolidated world of CFB for a long time ... I've been talking about it for at least a few years because the tea leaves were there.
If you do any kind of deep dives you'll notice that there are a handful of programs that drive the balance of the revenue in college football (good news for UW is that we're going to be above that cut line) and that line has been shifting a bit simply because some of the SEC schools have come along for the ride. The other big takeaway on the revenue side is that there's a loyalty and old money aspect within the Big 10 that will assure that it's always got a seat at the table.
College football going forward isn't healthy if there are not solid presences on the West Coast. So something will happen and UW will be involved unless Jen (or the West Coast politicians) completely fucks it up. But is that number the 12 that currently exist within the PAC 12? Absolutely not.

P12MD coaches would not stop talking about academics and prestige until they interviewed Meat and Helton. I guess Jimmy was similar too.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Just need a gif of Jen riding a dragon and burning Husky Stadium to the ground

As is said in the tug, @wewereafootballschool but now @WeAreAFatLesboSchool. It’s been over for quite some time. Maybe the idiots like @CokeGreaterThanPepsi and @backthepack will start to realize it.
Anyone who thinks uw is winning anything on a national stage is dumb as hell. Maybe an occasional first place finish in the weakest P5 conference and some sweet minor bowl wins turns their crank. Not mine. -

As it was in 1992, the problem with UW football still rests solely on the upper campus. #ripmikelude.Baseman said:

I can't think of any other program in America where the administration hates a successful Athletic Department more than UW. The more UW wins, the greater the pushback.MikeDamone said:

Miami I agree. Boom and bust there has turned to permanent bust
Florida is still serious about football -

Win over 9-3 Texas and Sark -
Miami still turns out a lot of NFL players. They have made bad hire after bad hire at head coach. That does fall on the AD, but they should be good and would be good again with the right coach.RaceBannon said:Miami I agree. Boom and bust there has turned to permanent bust

Que Sera, Sera. No plan. LIPO. Washington will be on the outside looking in.HuskyJW said:
Zero NIL deals of any magnitude for the players and taking direction from the guy who hated the Rose Bowl experience and quit.
"I don’t know. I do know how I feel right now is that we have a solid conference, and we have great partners within our league. I do think those experiences and those traditions are so important, not just today but for the future, because of the fans and because of our alums.
I’ve learned never to try to predict anything and never get too stuck on a certain outcome, because a lot of this stuff is happening at a level that is certainly well beyond my chair.”
Fucking script -
It's greed now that players can make money? So it wasn't when coaches of amateur teams made 7 million a year?
-
I get what she's saying, but it's the way it is, and your job is to win and make money. I loathe the SEC and the direction CFB has gone over the past 10 years, especially all the dilution of OOC games, but it is what it is. It's the way the world is. If you don't like it, step down and do something else.
