I didnt “cherry pick“ Nebraska because they were an anomaly.  Their $112 million rise in revenue is 3x what their increase in TV revenue was. So no, it’s not “mostly TV revenue”.   I educate myself before “speculating”.  But even if it was 100% TV revenue, that further illustrates my point that the quality of players has very little to do with overall revenue.  They are a well known EXAMPLE  of lousy results not affecting revenue negatively.   That’s why I used them. EVERY power 4 (and BIG and SEC especially) team has seen huge revenue increases, regardless of their on field success, not just Nebraska.   Show me one that went backward.

No one forces players to play.  They are not victims.

If they did not say “Cooper flag and Duke”, Duke would still be in the game and they would still draw huge numbers and sell lots of tickets. That is my point. Sure there is value in using his name, but it is negligible in the overall $ produced from that game.

If it’s about the players, why do better players in the G league draw flies? Once they leave their COLLEGE no one cares about them If they don’t make the NBA.

I don’t mean to flame on you, but the numbers say something totally different than you are claiming.  The numbers are factual, your arguments are emotional.

But if you want to convince me, please explain to me why Armando Bacot and several other famous, talented former all-conference players on his G league team, that would completely destroy just about every college team, only draw 1000 fans.  When you answer the question to yourself, you will understand why I am right. But please take the time to explain that to me if it’s something other than what I know it to be.  I look forward to an articulate response on that question.
