    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.
