The state, not the Athletic conference of the moment.

The comparable to other P5 schools is irrelevant when we have other D-1 public universities in the state that should provide our state focused evaluation.

If there is such a huge benefit to throwing so much money at an athletic department, why doesn't the state raise the funding to each state school to that amount?

I don't like a state school trying to "keep up with the Joneses.". That is bad financial policy.
