@HuskyFanPodBDTW Current AD was a bjg part of us being in this structural hole. Has to be a house cleaning but the history of the University in this regard isnt encouraging.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@DaWgincatland Program feels structurally on the path of being in the Maryland / Michigan State tier of the Big Ten… And while this 2026 team may be terrible, think the AD is more of a problem than Fisch. Not optimistic about the future right now.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@mikevorel This team feels VERY similar to 2021. Barely escaped Utah State but similar level of play as they had versus Montana. And that team immediately “felt off” as this offense has … and the defense is showing tonight it might be below average as well.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@thedoogfather @pat_chun That from an On Montlake interview?

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@T876987Tt87 @flugempire Seems like a misread of the market. They thought the NIL clearinghouse would make collective money a non-starter. Seems to be very much in play and where the schools in the $30M range are getting bigger payouts.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@SeaTownKev Could also be they use a larger percentage of resources on recruiting vs transfers

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@PotatoAnon999 @Softykjr @UW_Football Because they’re naive. Revenue sharing was coming and an NIL clearinghouse, they thought things would move to corporate NIL/revenue sharing. Well, you can get $20-$25M from those sources but all the schools above us kept collectives and other sources of revenue.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@JackPatera12 @Softykjr @UW_Football Pat’s decisions explain most this gap. Upper campus will always be an issue but the AD itself owns much of this.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@PotatoAnon999 @Softykjr @UW_Football No - decision by the AD to shut it down and a big part of the gap that’s emerged.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@Softykjr @UW_Football I’m glad this data is seeing the light of day, but the next step is WHY this gap exists. Our AD needs to be accountable with the fact we’re not competitive in the conference and a large part is decisions they made.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@UWonSBN Need to call it out for the reason: our Athletic Department misreading the landscape and making decisions like shutting down our collective.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

The Athletic has new data out today and the figures are pretty damning for UW. In the same range as Maryland, Northwestern, and Michigan State. Badly trailing the top. The result of decisions by the AD and misreading the landscape.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@Tequilla_UW @HoodHusky @HuskyFanPodBDTW As reported by Christian Caple, we distributed something like $44 million the last year of our collective. That isn’t a run rate for the future, but our upper campus definitely thought the rules would be more stringent going forward than they are.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@Tequilla_UW @HoodHusky @HuskyFanPodBDTW My understanding is it’s a big gap between the schools spending more and us - but like you said, others can weigh in.

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@Tequilla_UW @HoodHusky @HuskyFanPodBDTW There’s no question shutting down the collective puts us at a disadvantage. Doesn’t explain all of why this team seems so mediocre, but $10M in fewer resources created an enduring reason you’re losing battles, starting freshmen at key positions, etc..

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@HoodHusky @HuskyFanPodBDTW @Tequilla_UW Two things seem to be true 1.) they fumbled skill positions 2.) decisions by upper campuses n we have limited resources (RELATIVE) to the programs we aspire to compete against. We run out of NIL at a point rivals have $10M to $15M more and it’s because we shut down our collective

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@Joe_Fann Because Fisch needs to give up OC play calling two years ago

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@Ohtanisfallguy Shutting down our collective because we thought everyone else would “play by the rules” is an all timer fucking loser decision. He fucking sucks

[Pac 12 Doogs @12Doogs]

@luke_arkins Nice to see Taylor Ward earning that 4th sport with his stellar play!
