I don't follow college Lacrosse closely but I think its fairly straightforward.

The Ivy League has been a Top 3 conference in the 21st century.

NIL money in Lacrosse is relatively minor compared to Basketball and Football. So its a value proposition and the answer seems simple if you have a long-term outlook. Are you going to give up an Ivy League education/degree and still play top level Lacrosse to go to a standard state school where you can earn less than 6 figures in most cases? The contacts and alumni network for a lifetime in the Ivies are worth far more than that.

Princeton just won the national championship today with players that they developed. Ivies do not accept grad student Athletes. Princeton will be tough again next season as most of the team are juniors & sophs

You can call this "deferred NIL," if you will. These kids get into the Eastern prep school--->Ivy/Ivy Adjacent program ---> Coveted jobs in finance/private equity/venture capital/hedge fund/McKinsey pipeline and become millionaires by 30 or so. More of a long game than a couple years of payouts at 20. Much more lucrative in the end.

So we are going to try to compare non revenue sports in the Ives to high major football and basketball. Completely different worlds.
What other sports are actually revenue sports besides high major football and basketball?
That’s not a priority for them. Those wealthy alums also care about actual student athletes.
Unlike most major college revenue sports, these kids care what college they play for.

Isn’t this the same guy who tells us the P4 and their NIL are dominating baseball and softball regionals?
