Subject: Re: Brian Earl resigns takes the William & Mary opening Author: observer [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:58:45 03/27/24 Wed In reply to: Ed S. 's message, "Brian Earl resigns takes the William & Mary opening" on 10:20:08 03/23/24 Sat The difference between Sydney and Brian is that Brian knows that the decks are stacked against Cornell in the current Ivy model. Princeton has so many advantages that coaching alone won't make a difference. It's not a surprise that once Harvard and Yale stopped artificially suppressing their basketball programs in admissions and financial support that Penn would drop out of the duopoly. The Ivy League is at an inflection point - both internally and as a member of the larger national conversation. What happens in the next 15 months may determine the future of all 8 programs, and the league brand. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I had a great conversation with a fellow who is a big financial supporter of the football program at FSU On average team members will be getting >$50K for being a team member with more going to the skill position players. That is the new model for football/basketball. Without a formal salary cap many, not all, D1 football/basketball programs are going to collapse from a competitive standpoint as they will not be able to hire good players. The Ivies will be in a position to pick up the scraps if they use NIL to make attending their schools totally cost free and not dependent on any Fin Aid calculations. This would eliminate the HYP advantage vis a vis Fin Aid. Ivy League athletic boosters will have a big role to play in the next couple of years. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

And there is no way that donors will agree to spend on field hockey as a precondition to pay for football NIL. The irony of the fact that the league is more than willing to accept an unequal playing field among the 8 schools but not among the 30+ sports is what will doom the conference.

Tagd day at Princeton is the one day a year when the University allows the athletic department to have a 24 hour marathon to raise money for individual athletic teams. There are certain goals that are expected by each team (men and women) to cover expenses not covered by endowed funds. If those goals are not met there is no money to pay for next years travel expenses or assistant coaches or recruiting trips. Fortunately for Princeton Tagd day goals are met or exceeded every year by generous alumni/ae. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
