NY Times feature article on Bosco/Mater Dei

Corporations are in business to make money, and they typically need to be assured that even a sponsorship that seems benevolent needs to have some kind of financial or public relations return. (One notable exception is when companies are driven by wokeness, such as in Nike's signing of Colin Kaepernick to a ridiculous financial contract that they will find is money flushed down the toilet.) What would the return be for sponsoring a high school national championship tournament, other than to placate slobbering dorks like us?

It's not THIS discussion that places me in an awkward position. It's all the ones in which people accuse schools like Bosco or Mater Dei of having achieved their positions of dominance by having done some nefarious things, implying that all the other schools that haven't achieved that same level are somehow more ethically or morally pure. Nothing could be further from the truth, but I can't explain why without providing information that is confidential, sensitive and better left in the dark.
