Otro Capital is the pe group.
Looks like they hold an F1 team & some company that promotes kids summer camps.
Imma hold on to my $$. Thanks anyway

PE needs to be broken up. I’ve worked in PE and I’ve seen how destructive it is. The soul of America has been bought up and commoditized. Everything is just soulless corporate bullshite now.

Publicly funded institutions making moves. This stuff is getting out of control.

This can’t be said enough. As much as we conservatives beat up on big government, and rightly so at times, corporations are not even close to being our friends. They will bleed out their own family members in a heartbeat to pick away at the carcass for an extra dollar. Shameful on so many levels

No one gives jack sh*t about Utah. Why would they make a deal with them?

I thought about this earlier, and it's pretty obvious why this is happening. Most, if not all, programs are being heavily subsidized by the general fund. It's not publicly known about big schools doing it, but it's 100% happening and the allocations are simply being hidden. Athletic programs expenses have gone hyperbolic, from coaching contracts to NIL to facilities, etc. Regents/Trustees/Presidents/AD's can no longer control what's happening. Coaches are getting paid $100 million and phoning it in. Players are getting guaranteed NIL deals and then opting out.

In comes private equity, who will take control, cut costs and demand accountability. The universities might not sue a player who fails to perform, but private equity certainly will. Unironically, this will put an end to all of the bullshite that's gone down over the last few years with NIL
