Are they too good? No. Do they think they are? You tell me. However, pointing to the budget seems like an excuse to me. For example, Pueblo doesn't have the top athletic budget in the RMAC.

Its not an excuse just reality. Its why D2 schools can't compete with FCS consistently, its why FCS cant compete with FBS consistently. Your budget determines scholarships, facilities, recruiting, quality of coaching staff etc. There is an old saying in Texas about football, you cant make chicken salad with chicken sh1!

Is that why or is it due to the huge discrepancy in scholarships allowed? I'm not even sure what the UNC budget is compared to other schools in their conference but they've found ways to compete in most sports besides football.

I guess it depends on what your definition of competing is. Here is a look at what is going on with their athletic budget situation.

It was mentioned a couple years ago regarding Mesa but I believe they looked at the numbers and realized it wasn't feasible. In the current climate I have a hard time seeing anyone in D2 being able to increase their athletic budgets to the levels required to make the move. If they are able to then good for them but it seems a sketchy time to be making any big financial moves. No one in the RMAC is ready to successfully make that jump though, no question about that. I believe Pueblo's athletic budget is about $8 million if I remember correctly.
