Let’s win the crown and get that NIL money to help pay Okori. Sounds easy enough.

How much do you think it costs to extend the season for this event?
Cost wise, maybe there's a profit if you win, but balance that against the probability of winning.
I doubt the school winds up with more money than it spends.  
Maybe less NIL will be available as a result of playing.

Totally separately from money/NIL is the reputation of the team.
No doubt a win or good showing helps recruit players (possibly with fewer dollars to pay players to play).

I am the opposite of an expert here. But I am assuming Stanford is paying the full $20+mm in direct payments to players, and that this is not impacted by travel or other costs. I'm also assuming the extra NIL money is separate as part of "legitimate" NIL commercial deals the players do with 3rd parties. So in theory, if we win there is an extra $300k available that we wouldn't have otherwise accessed.

Appreciate more informed perspectives than mine.
