Why would grads under 40 making 50-120k and trying to pay
real bills want to fund an 18 yr old 100k+scholarship year to play sport? The rev share will hypothetically balance things a bit and they'll support nil via occasional attendance. I'm not sure that it's much different at most schools. Unless you're a trust fund grad, it's likely the old richer folks and big business owners that provide much of the donations.
Some good/interesting points indeed.. Given the known circumstances, I had zero expectations for MBB and had WBB as a bubble-team best case...Didn't realize 0 MBB players had previous P5 starts..That alone should tell folks something.

You’re right, they don’t, most NIL comes from one or two sources
