Apologies, but I will create a separate thread here because this is now what I do for a living after many years as a litigator and I don't want it to get lost. The prime value of an Ivy degree, as juxtaposed against say Vanderbilt and Duke is access to the alumni network. Not the courses. Not the professors. NIL has not mitigated that. The events of April on campuses have impacted yield at Harvard and others and will continue to. The impact of Alston, House and their progeny will probably result in the Ivy getting slammed in courts. The antitrust case in CT and the wage case in Philly are examples. Reckless statements by 2 Ivy AD's in their student newspapers will be exhibits A and B. The good news is that 2 Ivies are now paying legit NIL without collectives and we shall see 3 or so more after next season. Other than the Ledlum case for an extra year, atudent-athletes have won every other case against the NCAA and conferences. That isn't changing. Just read Kavanaugh in the Alston case. That concurrence was prescient.
