This is really the ideal use case for nonprofit funding, but unfortunately, real-world wealthy donors tend to give to university football programs and getting their names on hospital buildings. Sadly, SMU near me just made a deal with the ACC to forego ten years of television revenue in exchange for being allowed into the conference in order to get an automatic playoff berth if they can win the conference. Boosters will fully fund the athletic department to make up for the shortfall of not receiving and television revenue. All that money could have gone to good, but rich people care more about their alma mater having a 1% chance rather than a 0% chance at a national championship.
