Subject: Re: An Alternative Perspective on the State of Ivy League Athletics Author: IvySportsJunkie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:38:50 07/22/25 Tue In reply to: IvySportsJunkie 's message, "An Alternative Perspective on the State of Ivy League Athletics" on 19:06:14 07/21/25 Mon M3 and GG I 100% agree that NIL already has and will continue to have adverse impacts on our ability to recruit and retain the best athletes in football and basketball. We also will lose several elite athletes in team sports like baseball, such as Sean Miller, the Columbia Ivy Player of the Year transferring to Florida. That said, I am hopeful that the Ivies at least will retain their leadership in varsity sports participation and our relatively unique emphasis on academics for all of our student athletes. The ever growing NIL expenses is eating into most D1 colleges athletic budgets. Thus, the Power 4 conferences are looking at which non-revenue sports to drop. In contrast, I hope our Ivies use of our far greater financial resources (at least from endowment resources) will help us avoid or at least greatly limit the temptation to cutting back on our overall varsity sports. Unfortunately, the biggest threat to our overall sports programs may be related to legal challenges to recruited athlete preferences.

[> [> Subject: HYP Endowment Taxes Are Enormous Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:37:12 07/22/25 Tue I would imagine that for academic year 2025-26 and the foreseeable future, in Ivy League financial offices, it is panic time. The recently passed tax on our nation's largest university endowments will cost each of HYP about a quarter of a billion dollars annually. I've seen a back-of-the-envelope calculation which puts the tab for Yale at $280 million for a typical year's endowment return. What's that old saying? "A quarter of a billion dollars here, a quarter of a billion dollars there. . . pretty soon, you're talking real money." On top of that, research grants and other common federally subsidized expenses are at risk. I would guess that the last added Ivy varsity program, Princeton women's rugby (?), will be the last one for a long time. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
