Anyway, I'd like to refer you to CDMX chapter 10 where Cody was introduced. No gym changing room shenanigans, but CJ, Owen, and Liebe did spend enough time with him to base their contribution on academics instead of looks. Maybe you want to drop me a comment and let me know if you still feel the same way after you read all about it.
For the record, you're right. Their money, so they get to spend it any way they want. One day it's technology centers to support school children, another day it'll be archeological digs in the jungle.
