Message: [QUOTE="The Yakk, post: 4983939, member: 9988"] Lol sorry, but no way. Almost no schools buy this kind of coverage for their own benefit. The class exists because the lion's share of deals are [B]marketing promotions[/B], where the buyer is trying to juice sales among local sports fans but does not want the exposure to the team actually winning. If reduction in volatility were actually worth the long-term cost of a deal like this, then you would see more schools buying this product. But it simply doesn't happen. DB played a hunch this year and won. Honestly, I wouldn't be bragging about it if I were him. If he ever buys a deal like this again, then he is a mark. Full stop. Ask UConn's trustees if they would prefer that Dan and Geno stop winning championships so they wouldn't have to pay these "unexpected" bonuses. Yeesh. [/QUOTE]
