[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoever joins would have to stop offering athletic scholarships. Would any school be open to that? [/quote]

Because a lot of the good athletes are poor & they could just give them financial aid for “need” instead of athletic scholarships. Or they could hook them up with big NIL deals.[/quote]

Financial aid doesn’t vary if you are an athlete.

And the Ivy League doesn’t allow ‘pay for play’ NIL.

Schools would take a big hit to their athletic programs if they joined the Ivy League.

Given the above, does this ultimately result in relatively mediocre athletes who are either rich or poor? If they're "that good," aren't athletes likely to opt to attend elsewhere for a chance at NIL money/pay for play? The Ivies were typically not getting athletes over the big-name D1 schools that offer athletic scholarships and play in more competitive leagues with televised games, but now even moreso...[/quote]

Depends on the sport. The Ivy League isn’t competitive for Football and was only minority competitive for Basketball (but no longer).

They used to get some women’s volleyball players but likely no longer.

For track and field they will still be competitive. Same for ice hockey and lax because they don’t make money on TV.  Some Ivy sports may get more competitive if rosters are cut in the P4.[/quote]
