  • Washington State athletics expected to replace Learfield with Playfly as multimedia partner

    2 weeks ago | 247sports.com | Barry Bolton

    What would the change mean for Voice of the Cougars Chris King? WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY athletics is nearing a deal with Playfly Sports, aPhiladelphia-areamedia and marketing company that dubs itself "the leading revenue maximizer in the sports industry," to become the Cougars' multimedia rights partner, multiple sources independent of one another tell Cougfan.com.

Words including "pain," "chaos" and "crisis," along with terms like "worst-case scenario planning," punctuated the discussion as administrators grapple with the sudden and unforeseen cuts in an array of federal spending cuts the new Trump administration is pushing.

  • 3 questions on WSU's athletics budget with Regents chair Lisa Schauer

    2 months ago | 247sports.com | Barry Bolton

    PULLMAN -- Lisa Keohokalole Schauer, the chair of the Washington State University Board of Regents, had no more than 90 seconds to spare last week at the Compton Union Building following WSU's introduction of incoming new president Elizabeth "Betsy" Cantwell, so Cougfan.com reporter Jamey Vinnick's interview with her was of the drive-by variety rather than a conversation over coffee.
