Nobody is saying that we shouldn't try. We achieved tier 1 status this year, that is really outstanding. But our university is largely focused on humanities, social science and professions. MSU focuses on formal and natural sciences and frankly their are way more research dollars available for the latter. It is what it is.
You're actually seeing a major shift in funding towards more humanities especially around trauma and mental health issues. Unfortunately, U of M has even slipped behind MSU in those areas they should be lead. U of M use to be the University of Choice for American Indian students in Montana but that has significantly changed.
