Looking at the dates in the WSJ article (I am a subscriber), the KP era dragged us down. I expect significant improvement over the next 2 years. Season tickets are on an upward trajectory and U of L has more premium seating, i.e. required donation, than most teams. As for WBB, I have argued for several years that the too low required donation for courtside seats ought to be increased by two or three fold.

I still think it is funny when people give Calipari credit for getting so many players in the NBA. They were one and done they would have been in the NBA no matter what school they went to.

valuations look high to me. stability and NCAA leadership are not good at the moment.

I found it interesting that representatives from U of L and UK teamed up to go to Washington to address NIL concerns. Lets see if anything comes from it.
