UW is cutting a ten year, 41million dollar deal with Alaska Airlines. This would make it the largest deal in US college sports history. With so much money being spent by both WSU and UW, as well as the information revealing that the schools coaches are the two highest paid public employees in Washington state, I believe that this a good of time as ever to examine college sports and funding in the context of the state.
Where will this 41 million dollars go to? How much are the schools making off of football? Is it possible for the schools to pay for college foot ball without these sorts of deals? Is it worth spending this much money on football, even if WSU is on such a bad losing streak for multiple years?
