The difference is that a majority of Ivy League alumni, and newer Wake alums if we're being honest, don't have a large connection to their alma mater's athletic programs because they were not relevant when they attended.
True. I totally agree. But Mark Zuckerberg may think to himself "Hell, maybe it will be cool to see the Crimson win. Heck it might be fun. I think I will do maybe just a little something - I dunno, ok I'm gonna throw $500 million at the football players to divide evenly for helping me advertise this new idea I have. You know what? Make it a billion. My net worth increased $16 billion yesterday so I am in a good mood. Yawn."
Moral to the story remains - those who have CAN. And some WILL. No connection because my teams have sucked forever? I can fix both of those problems in about the next 5 minutes. The connection AND the losing.
You a create a hole, I can fill it. Amateur sports and anything close to a level playing field it had - is gone.
