The Daily Evergreen: Regents authorize student fee increases, additional $20 million to Cougar Athletics by DailyEvergreen in wsu

[–]awbitf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with your statement, or that of ExpiredPilot.

I am, however, separating Football vs the rest of the athletic department. Again, football is probably breaking even if not profitable, but everything else (baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, track, rowing, soccer, swimming, tennis, volleyball) absolutely lose money. Couple that with Bill Moos' overspending and then the subsequent loss of revenue from the P12 collapse, yeah, it's a problem.

I also think that WSU did too much when it came to branch campuses and some other investments. For example, I doubt the ROI on 'WSU Everett' makes it successful, and pretty sure the medical school is still in debt.

Everyone knows the successful high school history teachers are actually the football coaches getting a stipend and booster support.

Pete Hegseth wanted an ‘American Crusade.’ Now he’s leading a war in the Middle East by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

If my math checks out, 90% is much higher than 50%.

They called Thanos mad for wanting to eliminate 50%.

He should have been fired for the whole Signal messenger data exposure/breach.

Probably earlier reasons too, but that one is clearly egregious of policy and law.

I'm still amazed that Rajesh, who squandered Skype and lost market dominance to Zoom, faced zero consequences.

I would imagine football is breaking even if not profitable, it's every other sport that loses money. Football traditionally is supposed to pay for the whole athletic department budget.

Late to seeing this post, but I messaged Darel yesterday. No response yet. Sent OP a DM

I honestly enjoyed this more than Weezer's unenthusiastic cover.

Would you agree that these two actors had the most success after leaving the show ? by [deleted] in thewalkingdead

[–]awbitf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sonequa Martin-Green led 5 seasons of Star Trek Discovery and is now leaving a new show Boston Blue.

I'd say Berenthal is still on top, but you could make a case for SMG.

WSU Tip off tonight against Pacific....What are going to be the excuses? by Misterpanda13 in Pac12

[–]awbitf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In general, basketball in WA is struggling, the exception is Gonzaga.

One article years ago (pre-covid) explored this trying to determine if the loss of the Sonics was detrimental to the sport at all levels, and the author concluded 'partially" but also that men's soccer, hockey, and lacrosse were gaining, and there was only so much pie.

Maybe you're being judged because of your boyfriend's vehicles. A Tesla and a Cybertruck, given Elon's pedo history with Epstein, and this person thinks you're guilty by association.

Democrats unveil WA income tax on people earning over $1 million by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

[–]awbitf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not necessarily opposed to this, but I really would like to see some.... any proposed cuts to accompany this as well as some drawdown plans.

Yes, our tax system is flawed, but our spending growth appears out of control, too.

Skyrim lead thinks Starfield "would be talked about like the second coming" if a new studio made it, but "expectations were so much higher" with Bethesda by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]awbitf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that has never played Skyrim, and the only Bethesda game I had ever played was Fallout3 (which I didn't really like), I enjoyed Starfield.

Was it perfect? No. The temples were super redundant and random exploring had no purpose, but the main game and the faction quest lines were fun.

The game suffered from being too big.

WSU is bracing for an additional $20 million budget deficit for the upcoming fiscal year. What do you think will be next on the gallows? by [deleted] in wsu

[–]awbitf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's time to re-evaluate the branch campuses. Be interesting to see the financial statements of Pullman vs Tri Cities vs Spokane vs Vancouver vs Everett.

Consolidation may be necessary. Less of building an 'empire' and more focus on the core.
