Interesting take. We don't have a lot of big boosters and we have come to them several times recently to give Jans a raise. A big part of the FB problem is it is underfunded, but we have to continue to feed BB, the golden cow. We can't let up on that.

For football to be better funded basketball might have to take a budget hit for a while. I think NMSU basketball will still perform. NMSU athletics are similar in how they run a budget to the Oakland A's. Resilient out of necessity.
