The concern I have is moving forward how is the League going to address its status. Seems the "40 Year Scholarship" formula is not working as well. The NIL collectives at the higher levels will be tempting. On the plus side-individual NIL deals are allowable and according to one of the administrators at Cornell they ranged all over the place from vendor discounts to some individuals making several thousand a month and it probably holds true at the other Ivies. The problem is that they go no where near what the Collectives are offering.

Our target recruit will be a good, not exceptional, player with no pro aspirations. We will probably not get any three star level players unless they have exceptional education values. Our style of play will have to be team oriented because we will not have any standout players sought after by the big $ NILS. Recruiting the right role players for a system and coaching will be paramount. We will be at a talent disadvantage when we play most schools outside the IL. I have no problem with that.
