There is NO OTHER SEASON than next season. You can't count on a good player for more than ONE year anymore. That means a new team every year.
Let's say Lynn signs an overlooked freshman RB who comes in, wins the job, rips off 1,400 yds rushing and 400 yds receiving. Frshman of the Year. 1st team LSC. He's most likely GONE to a top low-level D1 (or maybe a mid-level) school for $20K and a chance to start. If he does well at the next level, he's GONE again for more $.

SIU is recovering now, but it has taken more than a decade to do so. WT is set on the SIU path. I mean, just look. Wendler is a cancer. He is a University killer. Why y’all can’t see it, why A&M is ok with it. I don’t know. WT should be squarely back in D1 looking to go FBS like Tarleton. Enrollment busting the seams, alumni screaming to move up. But there is even D3/NAIA murmurs. Wendler is a poisonous snake. I was taught to hate all things WT, but now I just feel sorry for you guys.
It’s so obvious. The cure is so obvious.
I digress. Anyway it’s not like WT is in the forgotten Pine Thicket like SFA. Yet, like SFA , the school continues to bleed students. So, what gives?
I have heard all the reasons ( excuses )
1 Everyone loves Tech or another major University
2. president tells students to go to jr college
3. canyon is not in Amarillo
4. It’s different now that there is on line education
All I get is reasons when I’m looking for results

I get Kingsville, and Commerce. They are slums. And I mean that almost nicely. But Canyon/Amarillo is bustling with potential.

You either hop on that NIL/Portal train or continue to get ran over by the top LSC team that currently are.

Every year I've predicted WT will beat WOU, but not this year. We will need another gift from the Peccaries or MSU to get that 4th win.

Mediocre is too generous for the Lynn regime. He has 8 wins in 2 years. He will be starting a new QB for the 3rd time in 3 years. At most we can hope for 2 wins before October when Sul Ross shows up for homecoming.
I'm expecting him to be gone by mid October. If he loses to WNMU it should be sooner.

For a D2 program, WT is flush with cash from student taxes alone. But to your point, I've never been impressed with the financial grass roots support of the program from supposed boosters. Lots of bravado and not much $$. There are certainly SOME supporters that give significantly. But if you can't completely sell out your 8,000 capacity football stadium with season tickets at a measly $100 price, you simply don't have the support from the community that you need to be successful. Much less extra contributions above and beyond. And if you are a WT supporter not even buying season tickets to their major sports, you aren't really a supporter.
WT has always had conditional supporters. "I used to give until they fired so-and-so." "I don't buy season tickets because they suck." "I quit buying tickets when they eliminated the cheerleaders." Real programs have support through the good times and bad.
If I was WT, I would first focus on getting 6000 season tickets sold every year. Cross that bar and then worry about major gifts.

I don't see a D2 firing a coach mid-season unless there exists gross misconduct.
