Yes


It's not just completely academic OR sports.

You don't think the donors to the "horse on a treadmill" research love seeing their research "shared" with sports fans? For their next round of fund raising do you think they show portions of that video or three powerpoint slides indicating an 88% confidence level in latest research versus 85% (hypothetical)

For the academic types it's about research results AND visibility/PR - because that assists with the next grant. Don't think they are oblivious to the visibility that being in a P5 sports conference brings - they may not always like it, but they are aware of it.
