The arrogance of the Ivy League in regard to its athletes and NIL is breathtaking

If I am a lacrosse player and can go to Notre Dame/Duke/UNC and get 70K a year with no tuition I will go to ND/Duke/UNC

The IL can be very high and mighty about what these young people should do.

The reality is this

The IL is going to lose a lot of potential student athletes because of NIL and the refusal to recognize and accommodate the new norm in college athletics

A question to our attorneys out there.

What is to prevent any alumnus from giving money to an athlete to attend or stay at their favorite IL school?

The "my roommate played football but I was a mathlete" days of Ivy Athletics are long gone.

Without a commitment to get with the times, the Ivies will become (if they already aren't trending there) glorified D3/Club programs.

Different != Better.

"!=" is a scientific representation of "not equal to."
