The fans’ thinking goes like this: How can UW hope to win national or conference titles when it can’t get athletes admitted to school that its competitors can? And why can’t the athletic department, which ranks in the top 10 nationally in revenue, pony up enough cash to keep high-quality assistant coaches? Which brings us back to that flawed premise. Fans think, or want to think, that college sports are conducted on an even playing field, that all schools are created equal. They’re not. Never have been, never will be.
