Question:  Which would you (and others) prefer?
1) Stanford "sells its soul", offers $1M in NIL (just making that up) and keeps Nunu.
2) Stanford "sticks to it's principles", only offers $400K, and Nunu goes to USC. 

I know both of those options make many throw up a little, but is there a preference? Assuming Nunu is going to do what's in her own best interest, is there even a 3rd option?

What principles would we be "sticking to" by being willing willing to pay $400K but not $1M?
