    This sums up my beef with DeBoer.

    There’s always going to be other great opportunities out there for great coaches.

    But you don’t have 1 foot out the door in year 2 in the middle of a Natty run.

    Fuck that guy forever.

    It really is mind numbing

    The reason you get into the sports business at a high level is to compete and win championships … if you do that the money follows

    To torpedo your chances when you get that chance (and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever get that chance again) speaks volumes about your character and priorities
    It's beyond the pale of @Mad_Son settlement, even in this fucked up age of college football.

    DeBoer had ZERO connection to Bamma or the SEC.

    He was already in a Year 2 CFP/Natty run at a Top 10 to 20 type program about to triple the original salary. And that's not good enough to still around for 4 or 5 years? What the fuck.

    I guess the lack of recruiting was a tell that people like me who hate TBSing ignored at our peril.
    Who were the names in consideration? All Jimmy Sexton guys, every fucking one of them. I've dealt with enough agents to know that if Deboer would have signed that contract at Thanksgiving, he would currently be shopping for a new agent. Football coaches coach football. Agents make money, for their clients, and for themselves.

    Not only did Sexton get Deboer paid, he gets the rest of his stable paid to boot. The average sports agent takes between 4-10%, and I'd bet Jimmy is a LOT closer to 10 than 4. Kalen didn't have an "in" at Bama, but Jimmy did...That's why agents get paid.

    IDK about the TBS stuff, but it was (after the fact), and continues to be apparent that it affected Deboer rolling to the end of what was a monumental season. By appearances, he didn't handle it well, at all.

    You're not in Sioux Falls any more, Toto...
    I wonder if we’ll ever get to a point when universities don’t want to deal with this malarkey anymore.
    Probably not at least until the vice of stadium debt is in the rear view mirror.

    Was the stadium that much "vice" though? $250 million seems rather cheap looking at what new stadiums run these days, and I would describe it as more of a "need" than a "want".

    The stadium debt is our best friend, it's what's forcing the AD to remain competitive.
    And UW did it intelligently, building in 2012 when the Residential / Commercial Real Estate was still emerging from the crapper while selecting a developer headed by UW alums who bid aggressively on it. Otherwise UW could have had a gaping sphincter hole like Arizona or Cal.

    Dannen is a lot of things, but he isn't an idiot.

    So far… the weasel thing was pretty stupid though that was only under his watch and not his doing but just like in my real life, one of my subordinates fucks up, I fucked up.
    Was the weasel in New Orleans on some kind of parade float and if so, did UW know about it? If it’s something Dannen or his staff knew about and didn’t notice or worse, blessed off on, then they need to get their shit together.

    I suspect the Sugar Bowl committee/staff/Madri Gras people did a Google search for UW, found it and had it printed out and stuck it on the float. If that’s the case, that shit is on Cohen for not getting an intern to figure out how to suppress/remove the image from the internet.

    As for the Huskie thing, who amongst us hasn’t had a typo before?
    The King of Typos has spoken!!!
    Uh?

    I never realized that Bob Woodward voiced his opinion on this. Incredible.
    We definitely deep throated the Dutchman's State Farm sales pitch load.

    Yuck.

    In this case nominal dollars are chimportant. I thought I read that $12-14 Million are owed this year in stadium det service. (I'm open to being corrected).

    No joke when the AD budget is in the range of $30+ milly.

    So when do they start colluding and then getting sued by Sexton?
    Colluding would work about as well as it does in baseball…at different points when I was in pro ball, mgmt would red-flag players repped by Boras. Depending on who was in charge, it would change if we were in on a guy or not, based on his agent, and bosses’ relationship with said agent.

    So obviously I was WAY off on the $30m number. That said poont still stands. This budget is showing $4m in red ink. Then add the stadium principal debt payments that start this year in excess of 8-figures.

    It's not looking good.

Agents make money, for their clients, and for themselves.

    Not only did Sexton get Deboer paid, he gets the rest of his stable paid to boot. The average sports agent takes between 4-10%, and I'd bet Jimmy is a LOT closer to 10 than 4. Kalen didn't have an "in" at Bama, but Jimmy did...That's why agents get paid.

    IDK about the TBS stuff, but it was (after the fact), and continues to be apparent that it affected Deboer rolling to the end of what was a monumental season. By appearances, he didn't handle it well, at all.

    You're not in Sioux Falls any more, Toto...
    I wonder if we’ll ever get to a point when universities don’t want to deal with this malarkey anymore.
    Probably not at least until the vice of stadium debt is in the rear view mirror.

    Was the stadium that much "vice" though? $250 million seems rather cheap looking at what new stadiums run these days, and I would describe it as more of a "need" than a "want".

    Need and want are irrelevant. Debt Service is no joke.

    You can pry my 2.95% APR 30 year fixed from my cold dead hands, pal!!!
    In this case nominal dollars are chimportant. I thought I read that $12-14 Million are owed this year in stadium det service. (I'm open to being corrected).

    No joke when the AD budget is in the range of $30+ milly.

    So obviously I was WAY off on the $30m number. That said poont still stands. This budget is showing $4m in red ink. Then add the stadium principal debt payments that start this year in excess of 8-figures.

    It's not looking good.

    Pretty sure we’re close to an upper campus announcement on the stadium debt that would clear a lot of that issue up.

    Other favorable factors for 2023/24 numbers:

    $12M from Bama
    Strong ticket sales in ‘23
    UW has probably never sold more apparel via its licensing agreements than it did in ‘23
    A lot of the Lake buyout goes away, if not all (too lazy to look further)
    You’re paying Fisch ~$2M less than you would have paid KDB too

    There’s always going to be other great opportunities out there for great coaches.

    But you don’t have 1 foot out the door in year 2 in the middle of a Natty run.

    Fuck that guy forever.

    It really is mind numbing

    The reason you get into the sports business at a high level is to compete and win championships … if you do that the money follows

    To torpedo your chances when you get that chance (and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever get that chance again) speaks volumes about your character and priorities
    It's beyond the pale of @Mad_Son settlement, even in this fucked up age of college football.

    DeBoer had ZERO connection to Bamma or the SEC.

    He was already in a Year 2 CFP/Natty run at a Top 10 to 20 type program about to triple the original salary. And that's not good enough to still around for 4 or 5 years? What the fuck.

    I guess the lack of recruiting was a tell that people like me who hate TBSing ignored at our peril.

    Meh... 4 million doesn't seem like much if you are churning 140+ million a year. Also who knows what is really going on when you have serviced debt, deferments, deductions, and depreciation tricks all going towards reducing possible tax burdens. Also a new conference and new media deals all in a few months.

    Sounds like we can borrow against the future (TITTT) a bit with B1G money so the media share will probably go up in future year a bit. But sure would be nice to have gone in at a full share.

    UW averaged 6k more fans a game in 2023 vs 2022. That alone more than makes up $4M.

    So obviously I was WAY off on the $30m number. That said poont still stands. This budget is showing $4m in red ink. Then add the stadium principal debt payments that start this year in excess of 8-figures.

    It's not looking good.

    Pretty sure we’re close to an upper campus announcement on the stadium debt that would clear a lot of that issue up.

    Other favorable factors for 2023/24 numbers:

    $12M from Bama
    Strong ticket sales in ‘23
    UW has probably never sold more apparel via its licensing agreements than it did in ‘23
    A lot of the Lake buyout goes away, if not all (too lazy to look further)
    You’re paying Fisch ~$2M less than you would have paid KDB too
    I THINK Jimmy Lake had a ~$3 mil a year 5 year contract fully guaranteed through the 2024 season... so this will be the last year he is getting that ~3 million

    unless they negotiated something different quietly, instead of the whole fired with cause for brutally beating a helpless child on the 50 in the middle of a game...

    This sums up my beef with DeBoer.

    There’s always going to be other great opportunities out there for great coaches.

    But you don’t have 1 foot out the door in year 2 in the middle of a Natty run.

    Fuck that guy forever.

    It really is mind numbing

    The reason you get into the sports business at a high level is to compete and win championships … if you do that the money follows

    To torpedo your chances when you get that chance (and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever get that chance again) speaks volumes about your character and priorities
    It's beyond the pale of @Mad_Son settlement, even in this fucked up age of college football.

    DeBoer had ZERO connection to Bamma or the SEC.

    He was already in a Year 2 CFP/Natty run at a Top 10 to 20 type program about to triple the original salary. And that's not good enough to still around for 4 or 5 years? What the fuck.

    I guess the lack of recruiting was a tell that people like me who hate TBSing ignored at our peril.
    Who were the names in consideration? All Jimmy Sexton guys, every fucking one of them. I've dealt with enough agents to know that if Deboer would have signed that contract at Thanksgiving, he would currently be shopping for a new agent. Football coaches coach football. Agents make money, for their clients, and for themselves.

    Not only did Sexton get Deboer paid, he gets the rest of his stable paid to boot. The average sports agent takes between 4-10%, and I'd bet Jimmy is a LOT closer to 10 than 4. Kalen didn't have an "in" at Bama, but Jimmy did...That's why agents get paid.

    IDK about the TBS stuff, but it was (after the fact), and continues to be apparent that it affected Deboer rolling to the end of what was a monumental season. By appearances, he didn't handle it well, at all.

    You're not in Sioux Falls any more, Toto...

    So riddle me this @FireTheJanitor and the rest of the crew...

    Clearly, Universities like UW, care enough still about football as the "front porch" to have to deal with all the bullshit of professional college football. And if UW as an institution wants to keep being in the pro sports bidness, why can't they chip in a few bucks to keep the AD from going under as it relates to paying for a "public" asset like Husky Stadium.

    UW averaged 6k more fans a game in 2023 vs 2022. That alone more than makes up $4M.
    There's windfall as well from the Sugar and the NC though idk how that gets parsed with the PAC 2 deal.

    The severance payment number is pure insanity

    I'd be willing to bet that there is fat in that administrative number

    There's definitely areas to streamline the expenses

    But what the numbers highlight is that growing revenues was a paramount concern and why staying in the PAC wasn't an option

    Was the stadium that much "vice" though? $250 million seems rather cheap looking at what new stadiums run these days, and I would describe it as more of a "need" than a "want".

    Need and want are irrelevant. Debt Service is no joke.

    You can pry my 2.95% APR 30 year fixed from my cold dead hands, pal!!!
    In this case nominal dollars are chimportant. I thought I read that $12-14 Million are owed this year in stadium det service. (I'm open to being corrected).

    No joke when the AD budget is in the range of $30+ milly.

    So obviously I was WAY off on the $30m number. That said poont still stands. This budget is showing $4m in red ink. Then add the stadium principal debt payments that start this year in excess of 8-figures.

    It's not looking good.

    Sounds like we can borrow against the future (TITTT) a bit with B1G money so the media share will probably go up in future year a bit. But sure would be nice to have gone in at a full share.
    I believe the number if $10M per year against future numbers in the next window when we're full share members

    My understanding is that we've already elected to do so

    There’s always going to be other great opportunities out there for great coaches.

    But you don’t have 1 foot out the door in year 2 in the middle of a Natty run.

    Fuck that guy forever.

    It really is mind numbing

    The reason you get into the sports business at a high level is to compete and win championships … if you do that the money follows

    To torpedo your chances when you get that chance (and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever get that chance again) speaks volumes about your character and priorities
    It's beyond the pale of @Mad_Son settlement, even in this fucked up age of college football.

    DeBoer had ZERO connection to Bamma or the SEC.

    He was already in a Year 2 CFP/Natty run at a Top 10 to 20 type program about to triple the original salary. And that's not good enough to still around for 4 or 5 years? What the fuck.

    I guess the lack of recruiting was a tell that people like me who hate TBSing ignored at our peril.
    Who were the names in consideration? All Jimmy Sexton guys, every fucking one of them. I've dealt with enough agents to know that if Deboer would have signed that contract at Thanksgiving, he would currently be shopping for a new agent. Football coaches coach football. Agents make money, for their clients, and for themselves.

    Not only did Sexton get Deboer paid, he gets the rest of his stable paid to boot. The average sports agent takes between 4-10%, and I'd bet Jimmy is a LOT closer to 10 than 4. Kalen didn't have an "in" at Bama, but Jimmy did...That's why agents get paid.

    IDK about the TBS stuff, but it was (after the fact), and continues to be apparent that it affected Deboer rolling to the end of what was a monumental season. By appearances, he didn't handle it well, at all.

    Uh, the point doesn't stand. Debt financing being 40% of your AD budget is a much different story than it being 8%. You're right that the payment increases to $17.7m once principal repayment kicks in, but we're only talking 11-12% of the budget at that time. And that proportion will of course continue to shrink once the real B1G dollars start coming in.

    The stadium debt really isn't that remarkable, and is par for the course for any non-pro sports team that can't use relocation as a tool to extort state dollars to pay for the whole thing. People are too hung up on the whole covid finances setback. Sure, it was a kick in the balls, but as Wayne said, you have to skate where the puck is going. And in about six years we'll be doubling our TV revenue and operating well into the black if we so choose.

    A lot can happen in six years, but the department is pretty well positioned.

    Pretty sure we’re close to an upper campus announcement on the stadium debt that would clear a lot of that issue up.

    Other favorable factors for 2023/24 numbers:

    $12M from Bama
    Strong ticket sales in ‘23
    UW has probably never sold more apparel via its licensing agreements than it did in ‘23
    A lot of the Lake buyout goes away, if not all (too lazy to look further)
    You’re paying Fisch ~$2M less than you would have paid KDB too
    So riddle me this @FireTheJanitor and the rest of the crew...

    Clearly, Universities like UW, care enough still about football as the "front porch" to have to deal with all the bullshit of professional college football. And if UW as an institution wants to keep being in the pro sports bidness, why can't they chip in a few bucks to keep the AD from going under as it relates to paying for a "public" asset like Husky Stadium.
    I think our BCP AMC is about to announce just that. Been a lot of rumblings that they are going to take on stadium debt in some capacity. I haven’t been working the donut table at the Bellevue AIDS Foundation breakfasts like @thechatch so wouldn’t claim to have more specific insight into the details.
    They were chocolate croissants…not doughnuts.

    It includes $13 million in debt service and other related costs. Though yes, the increase (balloon) can't be ignored.
