I think you are looking at deeper than the recruits. The publicity comes from watching a game and during intros hearing Player X from School or hearing the announcers discuss it.
The secondary impact is mentioning it in a kid's living room when recruiting him. There are plenty of players in the NBA that mirrored Kostas' apparent attitude toward their education. It sometimes is mentioned as a negative toward the NCAA in general but not toward the actual school.
