So the answer is no, you haven’t seen anything to actually suggest that is the model. And no one is suggesting the investments being made are altruistic, that is just your way of deflecting from actually having a discussion about this topic. 
 
Maybe it is the model, but seems unlikely. Everyone is using the Tatis Jr. model as an example but that’s providing money to players that are far away from big pay days, where the player has much higher risk of not developing, and where they have significant living expenses they have to cover on a poverty-level income. The guys being targeted by OTE have the alternative of going to college, where living expenses would largely be covered, they can make money on NIL, they are much closer to a big pay day, and there is far less risk than a baseball player in the low minors. The incentive to give up a decent chunk of future earnings would seem to be far less here. That’s why we’re questioning the model, not because we’re all naive morons who think Bezos’ fund is investing in this for charity.
