It applies to all of D1, but the payout will be from NCAA revenue which is primarily from the tournament and not much of that goes to the Patriot League or the Ivy League |
The roster sizes impact all D1 equally, but individual leagues/schools aren’t required to pay players or give athletic scholarships. Ivy League won’t change at all…they just won’t ever have the chance of getting a great athlete that is very smart in a revenue sport…not that they really can attract a kid that is recruited by Duke, Stanford, Vandy and the like. |
Who the F is paying NIL for SLAC lacrosse players? |
Most SLACs have football and basketball teams…most aren’t getting any NIL regardless. |
If the conference decides to opt in. The Ivy League won’t in the near term. It’s possible eventually conferences that don’t opt in will be required to play in a different division, as the Ivies currently do in football. |
Mine either!! |
It’s all but professionalized already, with all of the imbalances you cite. The only way it’s not currently professionalized is that the students don’t get paid. Big-time college sports are a business. This just ensures the star employees get paid. |
The ivy league is currently being sued over the conference wide ban on scholarships and it isn't going well for them. Once they lose, individual schools will be under pressure to offer athletic scholarships |
| I dont think you know how it works whatsoever. You are jealous of athletes. Schools don't pay NIL - sponsors etc pay. |
| Please google NIL |
The big money comes from alumni booster clubs, not legitimate sponsors. The NCAA settlement is trying to outlaw booster payments, but won't restrict Nike or any legit company sponsoring players. |
