Dots: UW’s 2018 Recruiting Class Ranked No. 8 by ESPN

• From ESPN’s Erik McKinney (I don’t pay for Insider and I’m assuming most of you don’t either):

“The 2018 class recruiting rankings are out and Washington leads the way for the Pac-12, as the Huskies check in at No. 8 nationally. The Huskies are led by quarterback Jacob Sirmon, the nation's No. 2 pocket passer and one of just 13 five-star prospects. Fellow Washington quarterback commit Colson Yankoff made a significant jump in the rankings, moving from No. 295 all the way up to No. 82, and the nation's No. 7 pocket passer. The ESPN 300 commits are rounded out by a pair of wide receivers, in No. 122 Marquis Spiker and No. 291 Austin Osborne. There's plenty more depth at the offensive skill position, as those two are joined by big receiver Devin Culp and dynamic skill position prospect Trey Lowe.”

If you’re curious, they have 1-7 as follows: (1)Miami, (2)Penn State, (3)Ohio State, (4)Clemson, (5)LSU, (6)Florida State and (7)Notre Dame. USC was ranked 9th.

You have a team section for this or at least the PAC thread.

Only a coog doesn't know the difference between football and basketball comparing peterson to romar

Only a Mutt can't see it is a perfect example. Romar got a number 1 seed and a huge contract. Petersen wins 1 Pac 12 title and gets a huge raise. It's not like UW is in the SEC, your athletic program is or near being in the red.

You can thank Larry Scott for that.

Cohen firing Romar with his massive contract still due didn't help that bottom line any. Doesn't matter how well the football team does, it's going to be a few years before they have any chance at all in breaking back into profits. And they likely won't.

This is from a NCAA study in 2010 that I can no longer find the full link to, but references to it are everywhere.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) reported that less than 7% of Division I athletic departments had positive net revenue between 2004 and 2010 (NCAA, 2010). These may be surprising numbers considering the amount of money being poured into collegiate athletics. Because of this inevitable truth, many university presidents have said that they believe today’s revenue and spending trends are not sustainable for athletic departments as a whole (Knight Commission, 2010).

There's this idea out there that D1 football makes a shit ton of money and supports the other sports at the school and that's actually not very common at all.

I'm sure there is that goal of at least reaching neutrality, but as long as the Pac12 network and other conference contracts are this poor there is really no chance even if they win a national championship and all of the increased exposure that comes with it.
