COMMENTARYFive days before Washington State’s 117th meeting with rival Washington in the Apple Cup, Cougar coach Jimmy Rogers stayed true to his principles. “We don’t have the resources naturally to compete with $30 million — a roster that’s loaded,” Rogers said. Several donor-funded collectives are also active in Seattle, making the final mark likely around that $30 million figure that Rogers cited. Rogers is right about the uneven playing field of college football, and 2. He was right to apologize for saying that part out loud moments removed from an emotional rivalry loss.
