CBS Sports recently conducted a NIL and revenue-share valuation of all teams among the five power conferences.
Baylor came in at $12.1 to 15 million. The Ivy League opted out of revenue share.
That showed at Foster Pavilion in Waco Tuesday night as Baylor drubbed Yale, 90-61.
The teams traded buckets early and Yale (1-2) grabbed an 18-15 lead on a junior guard Riley Fox trey. Fox is the Ivy League’s scorer and was named Ivy Player of the Week Monday.
Yale was content to let Baylor (3-0) hoist treys, as the Bears entered the game shooting 24% from long range.
Baylor junior forward Isaac Celiscar, a transfer from Yale, put in a finesse layup over Fox to put the Bears up, 26-22.
A 12-2 run by Baylor put them up 33-24. Yale sophomore guard Courtney Wallace hit a three to cut the deficit to 33-27. Wallace played 26 minutes.
Baylor led 41-30 at the half, shooting 55% to Yale’s 41% and ruling the paint with 28 points to the Bulldogs’ 14.
Yale sophomore forward Daniel Ogunyemi scored on a dunk off of a nifty assist from Wallace to bring Yale within 48-41. But the visitors would get no closer.
Three straight junior guard Brett Decker Jr. treys put Baylor up 58-41 and the game out of control. Five consecutive points and a steal by Celiscar made it 74-51. The former Yale standout finished with 15 points on 5-for-8 shooting and added six rebounds in 24 minutes.
“I thought we did a good job at times,” Yale coach James Jones said. “They capitalized on every mistake we made.”
Jones deployed 11 players and is still searching for the right bench combination.
Yale was led by Fox and Wallace, each with 13 points.
Yale committed 17 turnovers, which led to 24 Baylor points. The Bears outscored Yale in the paint, 48-18.
Yale is next in action on Friday night at Northeastern.
