    Tldr

    "Before getting too worked up, know this: no general fund dollars were used to pay them or salaries of any athletic department employees at UW and WSU. Each university is responsible for generating revenue – think ticket sales, television contracts and boosters – to operate programs and maintain facilities, according to the Office of Financial Management."

    At least the Spokesman has somewhat of a reason to be. Columbian is just a bunch of fucking losers that fluff the other 3 NW schools.

    I can’t remember for sure the year, but there was a big stink when Don James signed a new contract making more than the Gov. One of the responses stuck with me, something along the lines of “70,000 people don’t pay to watch the Governor work six times a year”…

    DeBoer and Dickert had a better year than Inslee.

    "Perusing the chart, the first 30 names are linked to one or the other universities."

    And you wonder why the cost of college is outrageous.

    I mean it's been this way for 30 years. The same outrage articles appeared during the Rick era. News at 11.

    The #1 thing that most Washington state taxpayers know about their state government funded institutions of UW and WSU is the performance of the football team at each university. Seems like a logical investment for the politicians to pay the coaches.
    (This was far more relevant 20-30 years ago but still)

    It’s outrage clickbait for the uneducated population. The majority of people think a school’s football team is funded by the school/taxpayer $ and don’t know that the AD is a completely separate financial entity from the school.
    99.99% of the population is retarded even the ones that have a fancy education

    Your tax bracket and bank statement disagrees. Hence the move to a lower cost state to feel that wealth effect
