They’re attracting more customers for that business thus producing the ROI. Do the donors get shares in the university? I don’t view donors as stockholders.Is Shaq worth what he’s getting from Home Depot? Is Caitlin Clark worth what State Farm is paying her? What is the ROI on those celebrity endorsement? Are the stockholders upset about that? I would assume that as long as profits otherwise can be maintained, the cost of doing business will be signed off on, no matter how absurd it may be.
Lol you're funny. Like Goodfellas funny.
People pay insane numbers for art. Art is noting if not evocation of a feeling. Does college basketball evoke feelings for you? I can only assume that you are here because it does.I think you also have to consider what’s in it for them. In this case it’s essentially pride, because unless I’m crazy there’s no financial return for them.
That's the thing: nobody knows what anyone is spending
From how everything worked out last year and this year so far, constantly being outbid for players, seems our NIL is closer to the 20-40 range than top 10
But then any business can say paying a college athlete to do endorsements is attracting new customers. Of course, they’d better actually film the commercials… but it’s difficult to quantify a celebrity endorser’s value… especially if they really do t want to.They’re attracting more customers for that business thus producing the ROI.

I’m pretty sure MJ brought some ROI to Nike.

Isn’t everyone guessing? Isn’t everything non reported publicly? We can hear toppin is earning 4M but nobody knows if that’s actually accurate.LOL he doesn't know, that's guesswork
These deals are not being reported by anyone
If he backed that up with literally anything verifiable, link it here so we can see it
Not true. this is how bubbles form. NCAA men bball value is not yet determined IMHO. Beyond regular revenue streams (tickets, broadcast, merchandise) there is alumni/fan support. Likely Walmart, Mariott, FedEx, Oracle, Kroenke giving tons of money to Arkansas,BYU,Memphis,Michigan, and Missouri.If everyone is overpaying, they aren’t overpaying
You make valid points and I do see that side of it. It does depend on the individual and their passions. I donate to charities expecting no direct ROI for myself.People pay insane numbers for art. Art is noting if not evocation of a feeling. Does college basketball evoke feelings for you? I can only assume that you are here because it does.
They pay for the experience.
Free market economics barely apply. Sports entertainment is art. People need to stop trying to justify the cost in terms of profit and loss. They are minor players. How desperate are you to see your team win?
Dang this board is getting so hard with all the questions...I still haven't decided what athletic means.../sIs Shaq worth what he’s getting from Home Depot?

If we’re asking about where does Illinois stand with Storr Illinois basketball is in trouble.. Unbelievable.So.....where do we stand with Storr??
