Why should they cut their salary when UW had one of the most successful academic fundraising efforts of 2009 in the country, "The year wasn’t bad for every college. The University of Washington — No. 12 on the Council for Aid to Education’s list — had its best fundraising year in history, said Walt Dreyfoos, associate vice president of advancement services.

It brought in $324 million in fiscal 2009 — an increase of more than $20 million over 2008." How many boosters witheld their checkbooks until AFTER Tye was fired?? I personaly know of a couple.

Success on the gridiron leads directly to success in the classroom! It's really not that hard of a concept is it??? Sark is the one of the highest paid public employees in the state. And being the face of the states largest employer he deserves every single dime. Beat Oregan and give the man a raise!!

Brandon Roy just pledged 60 million over his life time. I suppose we should cut the basketball program too eh?

As for 3 Billion-Yea right! That's a Lib green light to spend, spend, spend. Don't worry Union's, Gov workers and Tribes you'll get all your money and then I'll just plead poor and threaten to cut prison, police, fire and parks funding until I can raise taxes on smokes and beer since I'm all about working for the working class! Easy being Queen.

It'll be at least 6 Billion by this time next year!!!
