The quote "we've hit the ceiling of doing more with less"

Is a bit sobering for those of us who want WBB to compete for ACC Championships (get in the top 4). Couple concerns: We've got a pretty enthusiastic fan base, will it remain so if we're a perennial also ran? Will CMD grow weary of beating her head against the wall? She mentioned she does the negotiations, from what I've read that's not how UVa does it, it's done by an administration member. They are ahead of us in embracing this new world order (they actually have a good coach to go along with their money now, could be a problem.) But I am glad she said it out loud, first I've heard official recognition of funding issue. perhaps it will motivate increased NIL donations
