Greeting Hokies...serious question...

Hello Hokie fans. Haven't posted on here since the lead up to the 2022 game. I have visited Blacksburg several times since and hope the pendulum goes in the other direction for you guys very soon (as I do for myself but believe we are on the right path). Anyway, with that said, I seen all the recent headlines and articles around VT adding $47.1M to the athletics budget for the current fiscal year and a goal that increases in 2029 ultimately landing at the $229M. What I haven't see is how you get there? What is the slated primary funding source? Private donations, rev share, all of the above? Just curious if the blueprint to achieve this budget is out there or if this is just the budgetary goal?
