Revenue projections off? OK - fine, not enough people bought tickets and Larry Scott's network is shit. That crystal ball is murky.
But missing operating expenses projections by that amount is just shit. At least budget the prior year actual and go from there in trying to control costs.
EDIT: after reading the article, the real AD search timeline:
1. Create search committee and identify national targets 2. Reveal budget projections...lose all credible external candidates 3. Hire mediocre internal candidate 4. Release budget projects EXCLUDING debt service 5. Release all-in budget projections before meeting the Trustees
The incompetence is deafening, and the train crash will be extraordinary to watch. Why Petersen is here is becoming increasingly difficult to understand. Frankly, he is the AD's version on a Hail Mary.

Jesus. That is total crap.
Don't act surprised that a bunch of state-employed liberal retards can't follow a budget.
Jen's pledge to upgrade the gameday experience will solve the attendance problems at Husky Stadium. If she's looking for suggestions to accomplish same my personal favorite has always been cowboy monkeys. Fill a halftime with these little guys - problem solved.

Thank the gods that Sarkisian left on his own accord rather than UW having to fire him (paying him to go away would've cost millions).
Nothing will bring back the casual / band-wagon fans like winning. I'm sure a few thousand swapped their Husky tickets for Hoook tickets the last few years.

Christ, I decided not to pay for Husky tickets last year and went to every game (and yes, Sven, I still paid too much). I took the money I saved and bought about 4 or 5 Hawk games above face value via a few different ticket brokers and felt like I got a better deal.
In order to win those fans back, the Huskies are going to have to outperform that market.

Yea, we need more of those Lehman types watching the books.

That's right, if you're not a state-employed liberal retard then you MUST be a Lehman type. There is no other option.
Once again we're hit with stunners that would, at best, get you laughed out of the room in any other profession. But UW, in all its infinite wisdom, continues to redefine AD incompetency.
The degree in which we're* fucked if Petersen doesn't work out... I shudder to think.
I imagine it'd all be highly amusing to someone with no emotional ties to the school. 15 straight years of being mathematically eliminated from P12 contention by fucking November hasn't made the sting lessen at all.

I just thought that was a snarky hashtag. Now...
