NIL hot talk

I don't remember...was there a sense that Sark wasn't welcoming to former players? I really don't remember but it wouldn't surprise me. I could see his ego getting in the way.dannarc said:Sarkingham

Welcome back Stan Emptermann
1861. The year the SEC "left" so they didn't have to start paying the kids.

I remember Empterman being the Husky legend at halftime during the willingham era. It was apparent UW was going to lose the game. Don't remember the opponent, but it was probably 06/07 season. I was standing next to him on the field. He was supremely unhappy that the school had dragged him out there for that bullshit. Don't blame him. But always stuck with me. Would be fun to see a happy Empterman around the program.

Here's the thing with NIL that NOBODY talks about ...
The more that a University's AD can fund their entire funding through media rights, advertising, and ticket sales ... the more that donors can contribute to NIL collectives to "fund" the program's players (at least until players become school employees - which is coming).
But in the interim ... the above is the path forward.
Problem is that Jen runs the UW AD fat and as a result with UW's cash flows it becomes effectively a double ask for donors to fund both the programs on the whole AND NIL. -
Friend of a friend is buddies with Empterman, still Iives out in Cheney if I’m not mistaken.
He was a huge CP fan, but did not take to Sark or Willingham, and I’m sure he wasn’t thrilled with Jimmy after losing to Montana.
He’s an interesting dude from what I’m told, still runs some local camps but not under his own name. Also has a massive farm. He’s good friends with Best at EWU and has helped out at their camps in the past, would be great to see him involved in UW football in a bigger capacity no doubt. Out in Spokane he’s almost a Mythical Football God, not many people have got to meet him and if they did they probably wouldn’t even know it. -
As someone who has been called racist multiple times because I publicly criticized a terrible football coach, having Mario imply that people who didn't feel Lake was a good fit were racist was highly disappointing. What disappointed me the most was that Mario didn't even have the courage to say it outright. He put it out there just enough but then acted like he was above such talk. It was terribly disappointing.FireTheJanitor said:
Derek can confirm, but Mario racebaiting Husky fans that thought Jimmy should be canned for the Montana loss is what brought me to the boreds. How tim changesRaceBannon said:Mario Baily is over Jimmy apparently. The change the culture shot

But no, he didn't kill anybody. I'm glad he's supporting DeBoer. -
I told the story a few years ago but one day during the Sark era I was talking to Emtman. I haven't talked to him in years, but this was in 2013 I think. I mentioned that I was disappointed in Sark's House Money comment. Steve was like, " What? He COULDN'T have said that." I was like au contraire and texted or emailed him a link. He read it and said something like HOLY SHIT. THAT MOTHERFUCKER.theLSkid said:Friend of a friend is buddies with Empterman, still Iives out in Cheney if I’m not mistaken.

What was the shitty bowl game at the end of Sark? Fight Hunger against the Mormons in a baseball stadium in SF.
Anyway, I grab a beer and walking back to my seat when I saw Emptman and what looked like 2 other former players. The only thing I could manage to say in my drunken stupor was “holy shit, it’s Steve Emptman”
