    "[Vorel] New UW AD Troy Dannen: "If budgets won championships, Ohio State and Texas would win everything -- and they haven't won much lately." Says it's about the people."

    Awesome.

    R/cfb is just a pathetic collection of wimpy college football fans... It's definitely a good sign that our new AD has them so worked up.

    His answer? If the Cougars want the game to continue, it’ll be on the Huskies’ terms.

    “I’ve got a lot to learn, but I would say this: What’s happened in college athletics, a lot of the history, rivalries, things that have been traditions have been destroyed for the evolution of college athletics. And we’re going to continue to evolve,” Dannen said.

    “My bias is I don’t want to lose the history, the traditions. I also know that I have this economic model, particularly as we move to the Big Ten, where we’re playing with people that have an economic model that is far greater than ours, we have to be really careful. Seven home games is a piece of the economic model going forward that UW has to have.”

    Washington will alternate each year between four and five home games in the Big Ten.

    “Long-term, we have to have seven home games and the revenue generated by seven home football games in order to be in a financial position to compete in the league that we’re moving into,” Dannen said.
    And he all but killed the idea of continuing a home and home with WSU. AMC did jump in and say some things were being discussed that he wasn't up to speed on yet, but I think it is a good sign that he is not in favor of a home and home with the coogs.

    Yeah, his point about seven home games makes sense. You'll have 4 or 5 home conference games every year and if you stick with an "A, B, C" non-conference scheme, you want to schedule the "A" team as a home and home and host that game on the years you have only 4 conference home games. The B and C matchups will always be at home to get to seven home games each year.

    I don't think UW wants to have its "A" non-con game be against the coogs every year. Even if the coogs end up in the B12, a perpetual home and home with them would make it impossible to keep 7 home games and play any big teams out of conference.

    Both?
    Preferably the one that isn’t suspended for PED’s but if they only come in a package deal I’ll make it work.

    Play the coogs at Qwest or whatever it is in the years that UW has 7 home games. Split the gate. 8th game in state

    SEC SEC SEC

    If the goals are:
    1 Play someone with a pulse Out of Conference (which means home and home)
    2 Always have 7 home games

    Then we have
    Year 1 4 B1G home, 3 home OOC
    Year 2 5 B1G home, 2 home OOC, 1 road visit to OOC w/ pulse

    Where does Cuog fit?

    We either go to 6 home games sometimes, or we don't play OOC w/ pulse.

    EWIWBI, but the future scheduling models are up for debate now.
    Bama, FSU, USC, tOSU, Michigan, LSU, Clemson (mostly) and Georgia all have scheduled like the future model will benefit those who play TUFF OOC. The SEC teams of course only have 8 conference games so it makes more sense for them.

    (Penn State is one outlier to this philosophy, which James Franklin has said he is in favor of the weak OOC schedules instead of strong ones. After they go to WVU next year their next P5 opponent is Syracuse in 2027 lol)

    Right now our future schedules are the Penn State route until 2029, so we could add Cuog road games with little impact, but if playing good OOC becomes the norm we would have to accept 6 home games and playing Cuog at the Seahawks stadium.

    I love the history and tradition of college football more than most but I don't care at all about playing the cougs again...

    One of the best parts of going to the Big 10 is not playing some of these boring pac schools like Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, WSU and Arizona any longer...

    There will hopefully be big neutral site games to start the season in Vegas soon as well... Something like that in a year where we have 5 conference home games vs an SEC school sounds like a good plan and would be way more fun...

    The cougs and beavs didn't belong in the conference to begin with.

    Our prior issue with scheduling OOC with P5 was the distance to Seattle. Prior to realignment, the closest P5 school to UW was Nebraska (1337 miles). Now that the Pac-12 has collapsed, we are likely going to be scheduling more with teams like Ute, BYU, the Arizona schools, and CU. I figure Cal and Stanford will prioritize OOC with USC and UCLA, but they're options, too.

    It makes sense to make the A/B game one of the former P12 teams now in the Big 12 cum 18. Utah, Colorado (with prime), zona with Fish as coach, ASU when Kush is resurrected. WSU could be the annual B/C game. Our true A non conference game has been switched to a current B1G team (that will become a conference game). The whimpy SEC does not schedule more than one or two decent conference opponents EVER unless you are trash as fuck.
