The key points start at the 8:12 mark.

• Behind the scenes and not public facing
• No more "football only" or "loyal to the A10" stated
• Bigger picture a move for the whole athletic department
• Reinforce a full membership change from football only, by saying "we are an outlier in the A10, the only ones with hockey and FBS football"
• We know we need to make investments in the stadium, which is used for graduations and other events.
• Football investments have grown in 8 years from the bottom of FBS to the top 1/3 of G5. That is our sweet spot.
• Right strategic investments. While institution support has gone down the quality, competitiveness, and salaries have gone up.
• Collectives are strong. The Midnight Ride collective has raised over 100k in the past week and will go from 8-10 players this year to around a 1/3 of the roster.
• Keeping scores and the Chancellor wants to win!
