I'm a little amazed "Sark Tank" hasn't gotten any traction after this season. Maybe next year if we go undefeated.

All UW coaches will only be here two years from now on, except for our basketball coach who will be mediocre forever but we will never be able to fire.

Like honestly in Basketball given the type of players Washington usually recruits (oafs and good PGs) they're built to do well in the Big 10.

Rick posted:This is a really lovely way to phrase this. It's "not a priority" because the entire school is broke. Sorry paying the football coach was something they left to the end of the month when students may not be able to take classes and literally hundreds of people are going to lose their jobs. loving rear end in a top hat. Yeah, I feel for you, because I know a few people on UA's IT staff who are making GBS threads breaks right now about whether they'll still have a job soon... It sucks.

Relentlessboredomm posted:Sidenote, Napier is absolutely getting fired next year, the UF schedule is brutal: I agree with whoever it was that said Fisch is more likely NFL bound than UF. I don’t really think UF is a better job than UW anymore anyway. And yeah that schedule is loving murder and I see almost no way he succeeds unless we get some big time sleeper development over the next few months.

pillsburysoldier posted:Think it was an accountant loving up the school budget by something like half a billion dollars Long story short, as Pillsburysoldier said, an accountant who was in charge of overseeing UofA's Athletic Department budget overstepped and realized their spending well beyond anything they had actually accounted for. They are $240mil under and multiple sports programs there will be ripped to shreds because of it.

One loving good year and we lose the coach and (presumably) all the good players. Glad I didn't buy season tickets. I get it, it's a business, but that stings. I feel bad for all the players.

$240 million seems well beyond the bounds of simple incompetence. There has to be theft going on there right?

So that $240M shortfall is just in the athletic department? I don't understand how that can happen.

The Arizona board of regents requires universities to keep 180 days of cash on hand, and as of December, the UA was short of that, with only ~90 days of cash on hand, a shortfall of 240M About 90 of that was a loan to the athletics dept for the COVID years, a bunch was because of the insane purchase of the for profit online university that became UA Online, and the rest is distributed amongst other departments who have not realized projected philanthropic gifts. This has been a convenient excuse to centralize IT, HR, and Finance, rather than it being per dept. If one were to put on the conspiracy goggles, this looks like a way to managerially restrict all the departments to make sure they know they answer to the Regents. Anyway, the athletics dept is under no real risk, of it gets tough they'll ask Paul and Alice Baker to give another multimillion dollar gift Qwijib0 fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Jan 15, 2024 |

I mean, things were grim when Fisch came in and that hiring was seen as kind of a joke at the time and it worked out okay. Maybe they’ll stroked gold twice. Or maybe they’ll just hire Jerry Kill.

I feel bad for all the players. I've been maintaining a season ticket for the last three years even though I functionally cannot attend games in a covid world. I've kind of made the decision that even if I can somehow find gainful employment by the time the payment is due is to just finally let it go since neither the world or my health is going to magically change any time soon but I feel pretty bad about the timing of hopping off. Qwijib0 posted:The Arizona board of regents requires universities to keep 180 days of cash on hand, and as of December, the UA was short of that, with only ~90 days of cash on hand, a shortfall of 240M On the one hand the way that the UA handles(d?) IT was a bureaucratic nightmare. On the other hand though it mostly worked and I have a feeling when they centralize it, it's going to be a nightmare that actually causes problems other than being annoying. Like yeah there's theoretical overlap but like there are very few one-size-fits-all solutions to the needs of the various departments. Also that online university thing was really a hell of a scam. When they announced it they said "oh it's a one dollar deal." I guess no one bothered to look at the rest of the cost.

I forgot about the Ashford University thing. One of my friends got his "Masters" from there. His job paid for 100 percent of it, otherwise he would have never bothered. Turns out he was in the first tranche that got University of Arizona degrees. He called it the most prestigious diploma mill around.

drat, that's a really big surprise. His plan was to be featured last year (until Blake came back), then turn pro. JJ heading out likely means they'll really need him for way more weird poo poo than this year. Edit for below: Happy Harbruary!
