We've never had first mover advantage on tangibles... Jake sat on his hands when the facilities races started and doing anything satisfactory in that regard was outside TGD's skill set... The board had their heads in the sand for way too long, convincing themselves we didn't need to do anything and it was just big schools wasting big dollars on nonsense (was a seriously flawed perspective, of course.)...  The result - it's taken us forever to catch up... But with the dome renovations and new Lally complex, we should at least be more competitive in that space. Wildhack deserves a lot of credit for that part of his job. NIL is going to be tough. As a northeast private school with relatively small undergrad footprint, it's impossible to generate close to the same coffers of the big state schools and SEC powerhouses can... but the good news is, players love playing time and many don't want to sit 2 or 3 deep on the depth chart at a powerhouse school when they could be starting on a competitive team elsewhere .. The portal and NIL helps facilitate that dynamic now and we need to leverage it and leverage it well... it's not easy (as we saw with Dino, he had a real hard time keeping the cupboards stocked/depth), but that's the new dynamic...
