I think it's a "Wait & See" regarding NIL money. This cost is from companies, alums, and schools (I am not an NIL expert) but it could be a matter of time until schools begin losing a lot of money. Having spent my career in the finance sector with large organizations, the first thing we cut is marketing and advertising. I don't see how spending millions on a 19 year old unproven kid in college is sustainable.

Ivy League sports is still real college athletics. If you graduate without any meaningful skills you are screwed in this modern age. Even if you're a liberal arts major, if you can write well and have strong analytical skills you're employable. However, if you graduate with a recreation management major...........good luck finding a job that pays enough to pay the bills.

The essential difference between the Ivies and the big spending NIL programs is that the Ivy programs are intended primarily for the students and the NIL schools provide them for the $ and the alums.
