Basically, the lack of accountability by the BOT and the legislature we have two long term contracts and it's impossible to get out of them, you could see these people (Burman and Sawvell) stop showing up to work or doing very little and just collecting these big guaranteed contracts. I warned about this.
From "The Sun Also Rises" by Earnest Hemingway:
Question: "How did you go bankrupt?"
Answer: "Two ways, gradually then suddenly."
In this case it's not a financial bankruptcy, but a competitive one. UW's athletic department has been gradually getting worse for the last 18 years. We may be at that "sudden" point of bankruptcy. Next year's watered down MWC might be the BK.
