If we had more funding not sure of our priority of needs...
We could buy more home games against D1 opponents which would improve our home schedule, consistency of schedule and chance of victory.
This year we played 4 true D1 home games against:
RealtimeRPI 308 (Date - Monday 11-11-2019 CalPoly)
RealtimeRPI 309 (Date - Saturday 11-23-2019 Utah Valley)
RealtimeRPI 38 (Date - Saturday 12-7-2019 East Tennessee)
RealtimeRPI 180 (Date - Monday 12-16-2019 Montana State)
(we played 6 true road games Kansas State (169), Corpus Christi TX (302), Idaho (319), Indiana State (93), Northridge (California) (235), and Marquette (16)
More money for national recruiting. More money for coaches salaries which will attract better coaches (and more money for buyouts on coaches who don't perform). More money to schedule better OOC opponents which will position them better for the tourney if they make it.
Case in point UNI pays their head coach about 4 times what NDSU pays Richman. I'm not saying Richman deserves that much but pay the coaches better and they won't be leaving for places like the U of Ohio.

“I really thought you had to run the football to control the game,” Erhardt once said. “You had to throw the football to score but had to run the football to win.” - Ron Erhardt
Two things in my opinion cas
1 is the ability to pay better opponents to come play in the shac
2 is better travel arrangements for big ooc games this is hearsay as I don’t have direct knowledge but the travel budget is so small it’s not the way to travel to a good opponent and set yourself up to win
