I am fine with letting players (the market) decide when to stay/go. If the allure of big-time money is more than the long term value of an IL degree so be it

I really do think the oppty to play a post grad year is a unique and valuable feature of Ivy football. It is hard for recent grads in the job market right now. Would much rather be trying to land something with a Columbia degree and network to leverage than FBS U degree should the nfl pipe dream not work out

This is like rooting for the laundry, as Jerry Seinfeld once put it in commenting on free agency in baseball; and I hope the IL never permits free agency and cash stipends.

As I have pointed out before the IL has no say on transfers (out) or NIL payouts to student athletes. And at least a few are not adverse to bringing in a transfer via the portal after one year elsewhere
