Message: [QUOTE="richmondcuse03, post: 5612865, member: 984"] Lot of schools outside the top 10-20 facing the same questions and issues over funding. The real issue is a matter of priorities and where you spend the money. We saw the same question with facilities and have somehow survived (although we were late to fixing ours). If athletics is truly important to the university (and all the data shows it is according to conversations with the higher ups), we will find a way. The revenue is too important and big time sports matters to the students we're trying to recruit. The good news is that our AD has been run fairly frugal and we don't face the huge debt issues that many of our "peer" programs do (such as Rutgers, Maryland, etc.). The real issue is the generational money in the SEC schools. Some of that is impossible to compete with, especially if those donors keep it up. Folks should really root against oil and gas companies and buy EVs if you want northern football to succeed. [/QUOTE]
