That was Washington State University’s athletic director, doing a little damage control in 2012. It’s now 2015, and the school lucky enough to hire Mr “lock [his] fucking pussy ass in a place so dark that the only way he knows he has a dick is to reach down and touch it” Mike Leach to coach its football team now has not a 6.6 million dollar athletic program deficit, but … let’s see… how profitable have they become…
Oh. They’ve now got a thirteen million dollar deficit.
But Bill Moos is still at it, promising the suckers at WSU that if they’ll just sit tight for another two or three years…
Moos said all Pac-12 schools will see significant increases in television money …
Just hold on, dammit! Another couple of years! I swear it’ll be zillions from tv!
Well, a little over a million. Maybe.
******************************
But… wait a minute!
“We expected a sizable deficit as we put our numbers together and then we decided to make it even larger to take care of some things that we felt needed to happen…”
You expected? But you told me back in 2012…

Just to give a wee bit of context to WAZZU’s athletic aspirations, in 2009, the state of Washington cut WAZZU’s budget approximately 20%.

Bill Moos, who was formerly U of Oregon’s AD, was fired because he wasn’t completely on board with U of Owe’s building of the $240 million white elephant Matt Knight basketball arena. In other words, there are far bigger hucksters than Mr. Moos.
Some more junk food for thought, in 2011, University of Washington spent $280 million renovating its football stadium. Again, this is in the wake of the collapse of state funding for public unis.
