I agree with IvySportsJunkie that, if the Ivy presidents took action to prohibit or manage NIL collectives, it would only take one knucklehead, like the basketball player at Dartmouth, to challenge and, in this case, probably win his case. NILs and collectives are legal, unfortunately.

On the other hand, the eight athletic departments could agree informally not to take any action to initiate a collective on their school's platform. That's a tricky area legally, I presume, but if no attempt is made to prevent others from doing so, it might draw less attention.

Then we would wait until some grown-up knucklehead like Tom Stemberg says, "You know what? It's really important to me that my alma mater win in a sport where we've struggled historically. I'm going to donate millions and upset decades of precedent to make it happen."

Then we'll be off to the races.

Am i wrong here? I thought NIL was permitted so long as the university was not involved directly. I always thought that meant the relationships between programs and collectives were like political campaigns and Super-PACs

If my understanding is indeed correct, there is absolutely nothing stopping a certain nfl team owner from offering every member of the Col squad $100k (can we all wish that into reality?)
