Feels like exactly the big badass athletic running back schools like the Beav, Arizona and Utah always seem to have and UW never does. He has gold fronts. That's good for at least 1.5 extra yards per carry.

Bump.

College football is all about $. When Fisch leaves, you buy someone else. No one cares about the school, the education, the logo, the tradition (except exposure and winning), the location (mostly), etc. it is all about $. College football is a lot like Formula 1, the biggest spenders win.
Fast strategy.

UW alumni and players love being connected to the programs. Look at the natty game love fest.
KDB was the only one who didn’t give a shit.
The kingpins running this sport don't believe this is really all that important. They'd say something like "Well, people will still buy Cowboys tickets next year."
What I think they have wrong is the connectedness is the secret sauce that pro sports can't replicate and keeps college football in the money.
If this sport does turn into a semi-pro league and loses the connection, long term it'll look more like the WHL than the NFL.

college players are emotional, money settles them down.
This is very true.
Just my opinion, it is more important than ever that schools maintain traditions that build and reinforce those connections. School bands, fight songs, mascots, chants, homecoming rallies, student and alumni travel to away games, local press and advertising coverage (those old Jim Owens and Micky Rooney Rainer commercials were the bomb) ... etc.
Edit: and winning at a high level. That solves everything.
Every college football fan is keenly aware that the players cycle through the program. They are all there for only a finite time. The difference now is many coaches (and some players) are mercenaries, and to be fair, top programs fire coaches asses before they get the chance to quit if they don't meet expectations, so there is a little turn about is fair play going on here. My only beef is don't sell yourself one way and act completely differently. Don't be a phony.

Nobody in the world knows who Beno Bryant is other than Husky fans. But to Husky fans he’s a life time celebrity.
That’s the bond between players, fans, and communities in college football that you can’t really get in the pros.
For most players it’s the most important part of their lives and even if you can scrape out a couple million in the NFL those fans won’t give a shit about you.

That’s exactly my point though. Alumni were players from a better era where players stuck with a school and it meant something. Modern day players will be “alumni” and show up to give a shit whenever they get some kind of attention for it.

Can someone dust off the RTDB hat from the coach's basement? Or did Yimmy take that with him?

this is so true i want some of these fucking guys
I don't know who specifically you were talking about but I was talking about Coleman, Fafita and McMillan from AZ. All 3 were on social media bagging on Fisch and saying they were committed to AZ. At least one of them (Coleman) has done a 180. But what I told you was true as of last night.
