If Stanford would have matched the $750K NIL deal, would Kiki have stayed?

If Stanford had matched it, would U$C have upped it?

Independent of the counterfactuals regarding the numbers, we will never know what the decision process actually was for what did happen, let alone what might have happened. KiKi made a choice for her own reasons. She may or may not be able to give you a clear line of reasoning about how she decided and so far she has not. Probably it will stay that way, so theorizing about the "how and why" is pointless.
