[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody from Ivy League is making a living as an athlete?
Oluokon from Yale just signed a $45 million contract with the Jaguars.
Xaivian Lee of Princeton just transferred to Florida for basketball and reportedly will make $2 million.
Ever heard of Graham Blanks from Harvard?
How about Danny Wolf, who began his basketball career at Yale and then was a first round NBA draft pick this summer.
The Ivy League is a good league for many sports, and produces a fair number of individual superstars.[/quote]

And that has come to an end. The recent changes in NCAA and NIL have fundamentally changed things. Absolutely no one at an Ivy school - not Princeton basketball, not Harvard football, not Cornell hockey - is going to the big leagues going forward. Cooper Flagg made $28 million during his one year at Duke. No serious athlete is going to an Ivy when there is so much money to be made in other conferences.

It's a different era.  [/quote]

Cooper Flagg was a once in a generation player who everyone knew would be a #1 NBA pick when he was a high school junior.

FYI, but UPenn has formed an NIL group to start paying basketball players.  We will see how much money is put behind it.[/quote]
