Encouraged that you are hearing things that make you feel better about our financial approach.. Would seem we need to be in top 25% of B12 for NIL, Rev Share, etc. in order to compete at the top of conference on regular basis..
Questions.. 1) are you hearing this primarily from large donors who are making commitments specific to current staff buyout and new staff salaries/NIL needs and/or 2) are you hearing there is a more comprehensive plan that has been laid out by Wren that is sustainable and has commitments over multiple years?
If Wren is what I think/hope he is in terms of financial and strategic thinker, then I would imagine he has laid out a more comprehensive plan to both the donor community but also the U's admin as well as corporate sponsor community... Is there a path to really putting us on better footing for the forseeable future? Appreciate any add'l insights or opinions you can share
