Michael Irvin goes off on the portal

Yeah, but probably only like $25k after adjusting for inflation. He still had to actually work to make real money.

The 30 for 30 on all the broke, former college football players who picked up drug and gambling habits and died at age 35, homeless under the Aurora Bridge is going to be special. None of these dipshits know what to do with the money being given to them now.
 
There are 1 time transfer situations that are fine, namely when Michael Penix comes and plays for my school instead, but otherwise 💯

Imagine ruining your early 20's while your loser parents cash checks and cheer it on in bedazzled nil loser garments.

Like I've been saying, the one positive is that you get some overlooked local kids that want to transfer back here and get after it because they grew up rooting for Washington.
 
If I were a player at UW, making $50K, then Texas Tech offered me $1 million to play for them...I'd think tough about it for 3 days, then go to Texas Tech.
I might try to come back to UW in the future if they paid enough.

UW can't really compete at a high level again until they get their full share of revenue from the B1G...so I'm prepared for some 8-4 seasons coming. But the future is bright in Seattle. Seattle will become the 5-6th largest city in the US in a few more decades...then the money will be rolling in for mercenaries for the Huskies. UW has the environment in another decade to become a top team money-wise.
 
The partial share has nothing to do with football. UW just fucks over their other sports more for it, which they should. Latest Caple podcast they talk about money not being an issue.

Indiana was a full share the entire and did less than nothing before Cignetti.
 
I'm not even clicking on the link but the "I went through this so you need to too" is one of the worst arguments in the world no matter what it is applied to even if I think the portal and NIL long run aren't good for pretty much everyone. Even those that make a lot of quick cash or 3-4 year cash are probably stunting themselves.

Not like this.

1 x-fer and one additional hardship x-fer for family-related reasons, as adjudicated by a God-panel, and that’s it.

Team caps on NIL. Team gets to re-allocate one time per season.

Gotta go to class and maintain adequate progress toward graduation.

Red shirts as currently managed.

Boom! Done. Fixed.

under the above scenario, it would take anyone over twelve 3 thousands of a second to head to Red Raider Country over UW.

The people moving into King County by a large majority are coming from different parts of the County for Job Opportunities so for at least a generation or two, their ties and emotional attachment to UW will be limited and that is all NIL is about. There is no economic/business ROI for anyone. It's I want my team to win on Saturdays in the fall, and hopefully be able to compete and win a NC.

For all the talk about how much money is floating around Seattle, when your head coach tells you his #1 job over the offseason is find the money so you have the needed depth to compete in the 4th quarter against Buckeyes, Wolverines, and Oregon that says alot.

I hope so. I think eventually there will be some changes with the portal and it will be slightly less messy. It seems like nobody in UW’s orbit cares enough to drop 10+ million yearly to give the money to really buy top available talent.

What an utter buffoon. As if portaling means they don't work hard or can't handle adversity. This is uphill in the snow both ways boomer bullshit.

They can't. The minute the coach demotes them to second string and/or they can make more elsewhere, they transfer to xyz skool and like Haie says, their fat, lazy parents see a pay day.
