They don’t. The whole “we are taking our ball and going home” deal was as much about separating themselves athletically like they are academically as anything else. It’s like these 1A schools that exist in 10k population counties in Alabama. They mostly exist so their kids can get on the field because they’d get a better education just getting bussed over to the bigger county school.
There is more to it than that. I remember a few girls getting switched to the smaller schools as soon as they showed too much interest in black boys.
I digress, the separation is because they want their nepobabies to get to play college athletics instead of being resigned to club and rec leagues like they would at big state Us that are trying to earnestly compete for championships.

Does the winner of the AU @ Clemson game get to keep the lake?

Clemson has to keep the lake so Dabo has something to walk on while he turns water to Busch Lite

That's certainly my understanding as well, which in fairness to them, I guess that makes sense.

Right, it is more important to these Ivy League school’s alumnus that their descendants get to have this closed, elite experience where they join secret societies/rub elbows with other elite scion, get educated by respected professors, and participate in clubs and school-sponsored athletics.

They'd rather spend their millions on their own kids instead of some basketball mercenary. Maybe those ivy league schools taught them a thing or two about wealth.

We need to take cue from IU and produce entrepreneurs. In meanwhile, what's to stop Bama from setting up an athletics endowment fund?
