OK. I'm going to trust a former Fox Sports exec over "froginmn" when it comes to media rights valuations.
As to the suicide story you posted ad hominem, it's a good thing that no Big 12 schools have any skeletons in their closet. Like Baylor. Or Trevone Boykin using women as punching bags.
I didn't say anything about Stanford's media valuation. You posted a speculative article linked to a Substack, and said yourself that it was contradicted by what actually happened.
The discussion about Katie Meyer isn't an ad hominem attack per se; it's an unrelated and superfluous attack on the institution in question. It reflects poorly not on any athletes at the school but on the leadership of the school directly.
She helped the school win a natty. A couple years later she got involved in a situation defending a teammate who was assaulted and Katie was thus subject to potential discipline. Six months after the issue was raised and on the last day before the "statute of limitations" ran out to charge her, the Stanford OCS office sent her an email - after hours when school offices were closed - telling her that she was being disciplined and her degree may be withheld. She had previously sought mental health support from the school, and that night she took her own life. Doing it via email versus in person, and not providing her with any legal representation or counseling, was really [ Finebaum ]ty.
Very interesting story, as I said. I recommend the E60 show.
