Nothings changed with Montlake

As I said on the podcast, after Penn State Fisch was like "Do you think we could come back here next year and get a win. No, I can't say that."
DeBoer said early and often, "I don't ever want to put a limit into these guys' minds what they're capable of achieving this season."
That offers a glimpse into the difference between Fats and the Tennis Player Car Salesman.

that quote was definitely concerning. things losers say.

If Fisch isn't good, Chun (who didn't hire him) could pull the plug after Year 2. If Purdue just did it, so can UW.
But without an NIL budget of at least $15 million, it will be difficult to beat the teams that have 2x the NIL / recruiting budget UW does. From what I understand, UW's NIL budget is $10 million and the biggest budgets are $20 million or more.

Kentucky is paying Mark Stoops $9,000,000/yr

Now that we openly look at college football's uncapped payrolls like we do major league baseball's, why do the colleges even need to be involved? The NFL can afford a developmental league.

Foolish.
I'd do it for 7.5

Brand. Used to hate the word, but it's the word that drives economis and cfb has brand based on history. The Eugene Mustangs and the Montlake Marauders are going to be as meaningful as XFL teams, whose fanbases are always fringe.

Because no one cares about 19 year old 270 pound left tackles and won't watch. College football has more grass roots connection to its fans than any other sport.
This is also the reason I believe the schools should have told the kids to play for free or go find a non existent development league to play in 5 or 6 years ago. The NFL can't even pay practice sqwaaad guys so they have no interest in paying for the blinged out 5* Florida WRs to wash out after 3 years after costing the league half a mil.
Ultimately cfb has no need for the "elite" players that are driving the NIL craze. Take out the top 100 players from each class and the product doesn't change. The NCAA (the schools) let the train get away from them

I just saw a stat that the Seahawks are +39 points in the last 2:00 min of any half. That’s 1st in the NFL. We’re seeing a Grubbless, Penixless product at Bama and it’s, shall we say…DeDogshit?🤷♂️

I'm enjoying what's happening in Tuscaloosa as much as the next guy, mostly because of the whole program. But this idea that this is proof positive that he's not really that good and it was all Penix and Grubb is a little sweeping (but then again, that's what we? do around here). KDB has little more than a talented running back for a QB. It's a problem even in the watered down SEC SEC.
