https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaab/ivy-league-tou... Princeton +100 Yale +200 Cornell +350 Brown +2000 Man, laying a 20-spot on Brown is tempting, although I do think Princeton will win. |

I think Yale and Cornell have some value. Princeton with implicit 50% odds to win the whole thing seems slightly high to me - a championship game neutral site rematch with either Yale or Cornell strikes me as itself a roughly 50/50 game, and I think Brown has a puncher's chance to win the opener. |

Cornell strikes me as the best value. Call the Yale game a coin flip, and figure Cornell' depth makes them the best back-to-back team if they can win Saturday. Hoping the Tigers can continue to gut it out. |

these teams are all so even on a neutral floor imo. but i do think princeton in a shooters gym is a natural favorite. but thats fully captured. |

Hoping the Tigers can continue to gut it out. At these odds, the smart play knowing what we know is to take the "field" and bet everyone but PU. |

If you had Brown at 20-1, you're licking your chops right now. |

I leaned hard on the Princeton line at 10+ Smaller on brown weekend double which I regret The hedge fund biz is tough in a rising tide. Take it where Vegas hands you the odds if brown wins the $s go to the bulldog collective which will launch soon |

So far, I think 18 #1 seeds have fallen around the country. Which is inconsequential for the SEC and Big Ten, but a real bummer for the one-bid champions. At least the Ivy still has two teams alive that might win a game in the NCAA tournament. |

If you had Brown at 20-1, you're licking your chops right now. Draft kings did not book the team odds, so I had to settle for betting Brown and the over and then taking PU in game when I got them plus 13. Lost some of that on Cornell though. Brown is plus 8 plus 275 today. I’ll taste that but I like the over better at 135. |

Brown is playing very well but they would be fortunate to escape a 16 seed. |

Or an all expense paid trip to Dayton. I doubt they win outright today. Yale will not let them tear it up inside like PU did. The way they are shooting and moving the ball offensively, I can see them covering the 8 though. |

I lost $100k today of upside. But it feels good. Now I am going to get drunk at the Cherokee casino and catch a trout later |

The shoes are starting to drop....sad to see Perkins go. Despite the fact that he went to Landon...Good player and seemingly good kid. I hope wolf takes it to Broome but not much upside left as Yale deals w auburn and the portal season heats up. What a shame |

That's one view. Other possible interpretations: 1) This is a Penn-specific problem, either for internal reasons or because Penn has been poor lately. 2) This is a bad-team specific problem, and players on top Ivy teams are more likely to stay. (Sorry Penn folks, I don't mean for you to catch strays here, but, well...) I know for a fact that Kino Lilly had tons of NIL suitors this past offseason. He chose to stay at Brown. I don't think we need to be quite so quick to put on the sackcloth and ashes here. |

I do think it is nuanced. But think it's more about the straight quid offers. The tampering I can confirm is nauseating and widespread but inquiries and "strong butt" offers are admittedly not the same thing. |

We'll see, but I see Penn as having a total breakdown in confidence in the coach. It's sad, but something has to be done. |

read the ivyhoopsonline.com just posted. i cant tell if even knowing what i do know that should make me feel better abt yale and wolf, etc. or worse. but the fact that he rips this website and appears to be locked out from commenting is kind of hilarious. but he seems to be a rational penn alum and sadly our views collate reasonably well. this is what the disruption catalyst looks and feels like. and this league and its alumni and supporter base in basketball is ill-prepared for the reality. tyler perkins committed to steve donahue at penn. it changed a little. dingle left kind of late. tough year for a myriad of reasons. he was underrecruited out of hs despite playing in the competitive IAC in the DMV. he bails. its not good for anyone who cares abt the future of this conference |

and the only reason i would feel better is its the 2nd hard line (dire) view expressed in a form of media on the topic in 2 weeks. upon further review its too early be a contrarian and especially for contrarian sake. will stick to my gut and the bad taste in my mouth when assessing the implications |

Luckily, Jura 12 year has allowed me to accept the reality of Penn's collapse without the kind of stress that would have overwhelmed me as a younger man. |

for some reason having older kids who dont care abt my affiliations makes me feel it viscerally now. i am not ready for d3 esp given the athletes we have now. would be such a devastating cliff. and i am referring to yale and the league |

the most positive angle i just posited on x. i want repeat it verbatim. but one should keep in mind that the only reason ivies have so many d1 sports is the massive and committed alumni base of said sports. this is why at yale when there are complaints as to the # of recruited athletes corrupting an applicant pool...the administration is silent. because the ex athletes (this has been studied) are the most valuable alumni cohort in terms of giving back to the school at large. its why the programs are also endowed. yale lacross is ahead of the curve bc of one massive donor. there are other programs at other schools i am told that are as well and will play this game if thats what it takes. but for some reason basketball is not high on the pecking order. with too much free time (which i know is obvious) i have tried to push it but the wealthiest ex player i know who is still a rabid fan didnt know what NIL was one year ago. this will take time. the question is do we have it |

i just saw the luke kolaja news. its apparent that i am the only loud voice on this site from a heretofore uneffected team as it relates to NIL...that makes sense psychologically i suppose. it's your neighbors problem until its yours. but decades in the investment business and recent involvement in grassroots basketball through my kids and their teammates' collective vantage points have educated me and its why i have been waving the warning flag for months and months. luke kolaja was by all accounts a nice kid and a good teammate until he left the team earlier this year. but he isnt even a datapoint in this assessment for me bc he was a senior and had no minutes of consequence in his career. |
