I disagree.  This isn't an easy thing to do.

They are deciding now, among many other things, whether to lock the capacity of the facility long term at a number around 44K or whether to spend extra to allow an expansion that may or may not be needed sometime in the future.

They have to project where the future attendance will be at events for the next 30 or 40 years.  How successful will the football program be during this time period?  What will happen with football long term with CTE and violence concerns?  Will in house attendance downturns we are seeing through the country continue and worsen or is this a temporary thing?  What will happen with basketball attendance and interest long term?

Will there be interest in more private boxes, especially on the basketball side of the facility?  How much interest?

How much money will it cost now to provide some flexibility down the line?

Given the budget they have and the limited funds available, I think we all know what is going to happen.  But if a minor investment could provide potential major returns down the road, I hope it is considered.
