So, more subsidies and divert more money away from academics?  Or raise the student fee component and soak the students some more?  Both?

I’m not claiming that I have enough information to make an actual specific policy recommendation. I’m saying that other schools make it happen, so Nevada should. That’s why Presidents and AD’s get paid the big bucks. Creative solutions along with good old fashioned hard work.

no private schools in the USA Today numbers either.

You can find them in EADA.

I guess before being too judgemental, I'd need to find out some numbers to put the ad budget into context. Where does Reno stand in the MWC for overall budget, enrollment, student athletic fee amount, what percentage of its overall fundraising is going to the AD. I know it has a lower subsidy than many (most?) although that's kind of a positive to me. 

I posted some info on Alabama's athletic fundraising, which was 115M last year and compared it to Michigan and Ohio State where it was only about 55M.  Yeah, Alabama!  But not so fast because their overall fundraising was only 200M versus 500M+ at UM and OSU. Far from making Bama look good, it made them look like a football factory with completely out of whack priorities.

That’s what I mean, I’d have to do that research before I came up with something realistic.

My guess is Idaho will receive around $600k to play UNR.

I think I may have heard of $2 or $2.2 mil somewhere. We’re getting $1.8 mil @ Ohio St. 

I haven't seen the $2 million milestone yet.  Last season, Utah State got $1.91 million at Alabama.  That was the highest for 2022.

Hawaii got $1.9 million to play at Michigan in 2022.

The game was ugly.

Should be a good game, probably a higher chance of beating us than anytime we met during the WAC years.
