So does that mean there needs to be equal amount of whites, Mexicans/Latinos/Hispanic, Asian and blacks on each team??
No. There has to be a similar profile to that of the surrounding neighborhood.

it won't be just them to break away.. the other P4 conferences will be breaking away too. There's no incentive to remain tied to the NCAA. They will get the rights to the money making MBB tournaments, college world series.. all of it.
They will break away. Then they'll will reconstruct something very similar to what the NCAA looks like right now. Only they'll be able to run things without all the pesky little tit suckers and won't have to share any of the other revenue makers.

Or, what they reconstruct might be worse. Hell, the five of them can't even agree on what this football season should look like or when it should start. I guess they think they can agree on everything else though. We damn sure know they'll agree on keeping more of the money they generate. I mean the money some of them generate. They'll still have some tit suckers just like they do now. P5s in name only and don't really move the needle unless they are attached to theirreal money making big brothers in the conference.

Sure, but if football breaks off, you guys dwarf Stanford’s revenue. They are private but everything I’ve seen on Stanford insinuates that football program doesn’t subsidize all the other sports as much as every other school. I believe golf and soccer are nearly in the black.
If it came down to it I'm sure Tiger Woods would write a small check to the athletic department.

Yeah that's my fear, feels like the Big12 being formed again out of need not of want.

I would hope they could have a board of commissioners instead of one person who makes the decisions for 60 schools.

UW's academics are second only to Stanford as far as west coast schools go.
You misspelled "second."

That would be true except for:
  • Cal Tech
  • UCLA
  • Berkeley
  • USC
  • UCSB
  • UC Irvine
  • UCSD
  • Pepperdine
  • Santa Clara U

You truly are a dumb fucking moron
Why's that .. because minorities already get a fvckload of breaks and throwing more taxpayer money at them will help fix whatever problems they're complaining about today?

I am sure you are proud. You actually quoted some satellite campus as your proof? GTFO. Also, USN has UW as 60th or so in national unis, and somehow 2 in global unis. There is some witchery going on there to do that. UW is a fine school, but it's not he 2nd best public institution in the US, etc. Anyone can find someone to give something a number. Be proud, but don't exaggerate. I actually think the best value rankings are the most important these days, so long as they are evaluated objectively.

Wrong about what? There's already race quotas (Affirmative Action), SBA loans for minorities, govt. contract breaks for minority owned businesses, etc, etc... show me a country other than this one that gives govt. breaks to people because of their skin color.

Bothell is a satellite campus, Seattle is the main campus. Fact of the matter is UW is ranked #2 in the US for public universities and #10 in the world in regards to academics. Those are the facts.

UW retains top spot in medicine in U.S. News school rankings; earns other high marks

Nebraska is a big state and their football team sucks atm. There has to be a way to relocate UW to Nebraska .. somewhere next to a big ass lake.

Washington had a losing record in-conference last year. They haven't won a major bowl game in nearly 20 years. They offer little to nothing to the B1G.

That because people get breaks they shouldn’t get more and anyone who thinks so is clueless. That This will be paid on the backs of taxes. That Washington is the second bbbbest academic university in the PAC. Stuff like that

Three out of four black babies are born into single parent families. Not sure how throwing more taxpayer money at them is going to change that kind of culture.
