I heard that Yale couldn't send their band so the Yale band at the game was actually Idaho's, in Yale sweaters.

Colgate did the same thing. Their band is at the women’s frozen four

That worked out. Playing with funny money now.
JMU beating Duke in a Dukes on Duke matchup isn't entirely out of the question.

what were the odds?

William and Mary might be able to offer NIL and they might be able to pay well. I don't know if Earl thinks it would be easier to take the Princeton job if he moves from a non-Ivy school, but that assumes the Tigers current coach would give up that job.

Won $58 ona. Ten dollar bet.

I think the Ivies need to do something about NIL. The alums have the money.

Even if the money is spread socialist style across the roster, that's a start. Couldn't do it for football, but hoops and hockey could work

Penn is losing Tyler Perkins after one year. Not sure how much is NIL and how much is the coaching.

Hard to tell kids get an Ivy degree because it’s worth X dollars when you can get X dollars from NIL right now.

I am sort of looking forward to Kansas Gonzaga today to listen to the broadcasters talk about their common tournament opponent from the start of the year(Yale)

This might explain JMU's rise in basketball and its success in football:

Quote
Portico
@Sportico
.
@JMUSports spent $68 million on athletics in fiscal 2023 and reported funding $53.3 million of it via mandatory student fees, charged annually to every JMU student as part of their tuition - $2,362 per student per year, is earmarked for funding athletics.

It’s by far the largest sum of any public school in the country

They go on to note that the student surcharge is 4x what student athletics generates in revenue for the school and is about 85% more than the #2 school in the FBS (Old Dominion). UVA ranks 10th at $16.1 million in annual student fees.

That’s just crazy.  Is some of this because the Virginia schools are transparent. In other words do they just hide these fees at other places?

I’d imagine at more established schools alumni donations cover a lot of the fees, that and tv revenue. JMU wants to play with the big boys.

I guess so but they have to cover all the non revenue sports also.  It’s big business I guess.

Every other school has to cover non-revenue sports too. 2k a year when tuition is 13k is absurd
