I agree. Said it before. If my team at work left because corporate didn’t

Fund my area the way it needed to and our effectiveness dropped. You can bet your bottom dollar I would have been held responsible. It is my job to make sure my funding needs are met. If corporate still said sorry and the shareholders complained about my groups performance. Then the corporation should explain why. We think this is the growth and resource area. Not here. I got my worst review ever when I didn’t get funding. I wasn’t paid what MY is paid. But was responsible for a larger budget. I learned a hard lesson. After that I learned how to lobby. No didn’t mean whining. It meant private conversations with the gate keepers. It meant showing them cost / benefits. It didn’t mean I always got everything I wanted. But I was able to get more than before. Not saying MY can get more. But I sure hope he is having those conversations. I am not sure I have seen him appeal to us for basketball specific NIL. I know I have seen Pry ask for NIL.

You realize we’d be 0-8 in ACC without him coaching right?

Not really if he doesn't have NIL money. That's what it's come down to.**
