UW is non-competitive for most of these good guys until they get their full B1G share, IMO. Wiscy seems to already be making their recruit commits sign at least 2 year contracts to keep them from transferring. This might become a standard in the B1G. Demond keeps UW at 7-5 for the next 3 years…
It seems from the Caple Montlake Futures interview that the difference between UW and a full share school is going to be Olympic sports. They will get squeezed out of the rev share in favor of the football team and will at least partially rely on MF to keep them competitive.
The full share schools blow a ton of their money on facilities and teams we don't have funded like hockey.
I listened to that Caple thing too, but UW is getting half of what these other teams are getting until 2030. They won't be at full firepower for 5 more years, no matter what they try to say about it. The best they can do is try to keep their heads above water for a while.
At least UW remodeled the stadium when it was still cheap to do. That remodel would probably be in the $ billions now. Northwestern must be spending a ton on their new stadium. That would be interesting if the B1G kicks Northwestern out eventually for sucking.
