Private Equity in College Athletics

What does the business school have to do with colleges and NIL.?

A good business school at a college should help the college or university avoid the pitfalls of bad business moves in theory.

The same is true of having a good planning department at a university, instead of just building things here and there a planning department if properly utilized would maximize the money used for new development.

Money is like water, if you do not put the water in the right place you will not put out the fire. If you do not spend the money in the right place you are wasting your resources.

Although I am sure we have great business school faculty currently as they were good at what they do when I was in the business school.
However , I do not see the business school negotiating with PE firms on the daily. The school will hire outside representation if we ever thought we needed a PE sponsor.

Do we have any examples of the Business School being used? Sure have not seen it in the athletic departmant.

Appalachian has a top school of business, I believe they will get the best deal that can be had.

Besides, teams elevate conferences, conferences do not elevate schools.

SMU did not get better because they joined the ACC, they were good already. The same is true of BYU.

The COB might help. Maybe. But I’d be much happier if App had a School of Law to tap for helping this situation.
