I find it rather amusing that you dismiss the motivations of John and Tracy Sellers (the Texas Tech boosters who ponied up for Canady's $1M NIL) as "ego driven".  You don't know them.  You don't know anything about them.  I wish Stanford had a John and Tracy Sellers supporting our athletes.

I don’t care about their motivations; I say as much.  It’s their money and their business.  They can donate the money for any reason they want, or for no reason whatsoever.

But my broader point is your last sentence.  It is easy to wish someone else stepped up to give $1M to support something we want; the fact that no one did is my point about revealed preferences.
