    .

    $20 each?

    Texas A&M's booster are paying six figures to sign a National Letter of Intent.

    UW's boosters are paying two figures to help Softy's self-esteem for 20 minutes.

    Not sure we're doing this right.

    Good for Brown. He deserves it. Hop would be fucked without him. I haven’t watched him play more than 5 min but he’s doing well.

    All fine and good until the unpaid players go on a wildcat strike.

    Will probably be held at a local tavern with a tip jar set out for their compensation.

    This, (along with the Fanatics Jersey deal) is what Doogs have been telling themselves and anyone else who wants to listen is going to be a difference maker for UW and NIL/Montlake Futures.

    So why these deals are going to put tens of dollars into our players pockets, A&M, Texas, Ohio State, etc are making deals that will be worth 6 figures over the course of 4 years.

    UW is failing to understand what NIL does. It’s not an avenue to generate money for players. The money should already be there. NILs are a way to funnel large sums of money to recruits.

    Oregon is now hosting An NFT auction which will generate millions. If you don’t think big donors aren’t buying these up just so their money can be funneled to the players, I can’t help you.

    UW for all its educational prowess seems to not understand basic business, hence we will be a shit tier program

    I’m hearing Peterman’s involvement in Montlake Futures is specifically tied to the use of savings bonds as the vehicle for all player compensation

    No one who knows anything thinks the fanatics deal plus radio deals competes with anything.

    NFT's guaranteeing "6-7 figures" is what retard non technology people think is a game changer.

    Jesus Christ, how many of you people work in e commerce or technology? We already know it's 0 (lol) duck "alums" here.

    It’s not the NFTs, it’s the money coming in from buying them. It’s basically legalized money laundering.

    It's funny that you ignore P00regon.

    This is 2016 Oregon is getting Urbz/Saban all over again.

    You guys aren't WSU/OSU. For sure. But you aren't what you say you are.

    This is not surprising coming from a major university that barely understands html.

    I'm guessing no one has any idea how much they are being payed for these interviews. Tweet says it's being sponsored by Montlake Futures and for all we know they are paying them alot.

    Hard to read some of these threads when it's literally just assumptions of worst case scenario every time. The echo is tough to hear. BTW we are never going to be run the same as the craziest blue bloods and southern teams in my opinion but willing to have my mind changed on that

    We aren’t.

    West Coast football is its own thing. Soon, teams will see the best players are going to the South or Big Ten anyways and it will be a waste of money to pay for overhyped recruits that only have the option of staying West.

    I accepted this a few years ago. Win the PAC 12. Nobody is going to be able to simply buy a championship. Coaching and development still reigns supreme.
    My only issue with what you're saying is that it's not any different than the past 20 years. Besides for a handful of blue bloods and a few more hardcore southern teams who is doing drastically more than UW? Everyone is comparing themselves to A&M but they are a huge outlier right now

    You can take what Baseman says about this kind of thing to the bank.

    The blood bank?

    Baseman is uniquely positioned to understand these things.

    This is embarrassing. Anyone thinks UW will ever be an elite again in our life times is delusional. Get used to perpetual 7 wins. Wait, sark got us used to that. Shouldn’t be a shock.

    NIL has went so far beyond jersey sales and autographs it's laughable, yet UW (and doogs) tout the Fanatics deal as a move the needle event.

    Can't wait as Baseman states to hear about the tens of dollars the average player will make off it

    Part of me wants to live in their delusional fantasyland, but then last season happens, or as Damone quotes above the ceiling of 7-9 wins for the program and I would rather no what's coming and be able to prepare/accept it, then go through the shock as it happens in real time during the regular season.

    I've said for years the games are actually won in December and February during signing period. This open free agency with NIL just puts it on steriods, and UW is getting lapped by other programs with it.
