The WWE event is taking place on a night when Ole Miss’ men’s and women’s basketball teams are not scheduled to compete.
The move by Ole Miss to open the basketball venue for another function comes as the university looks to explore new ways to generate revenue in the modern age of college athletics. Universities are now allowed to share more than $21 million with student-athletes out of their athletics departments’ operating budgets.
Ole Miss has been at the forefront of the revenue-sharing and name, image, and likeness scene in terms of a school that has used compensation for athletes to its advantage. In the NIL age, the Rebels have earned a trip to the College Football Playoff, reached the Sweet 16 in men’s and women’s basketball, and landed in the College World Series in baseball and softball — with the baseball team winning the national championship in 2022 — among other feats.
