Our $2m - $2.5m is good enough to be better than we are, but each year top programs keep getting more and more.  In 2022 when JB was talking about Buddy makes 15-30k, that $2m+ would have been great.  It's still good, but now top programs are at $5m+.  We're in defensive posturing to keep our stars from leaving.  We don't need the most, we need to spend it wisely and we need good coaching.  So we have other problems right now.  But it feels like we're constantly chasing.  The brand is in the danger zone.  I don't know the whole back story and I know it's taboo here, and some say Weitsman had unethical dealings the university was worried about and others say the chancellor just had a problem with him, but at this point I'd really like the university to make every effort to increase its NIL and donations to the AD.  Even if that means bringing Weitsman back into the fold, unless he really is unsavory, but if it's just personality problems they should try to quash it.  You saw the post last week -- the team's taking the bus to games.  Obviously NIL and athletics budget are separate, but much of it comes from the same pot -- donors.  And with attendance down due to bad teams, donors are even more important.  It just would feel nice to not feel like we're constanting chasing and playing catch up.
