Not just Penn — it’s a league wide thing. We have a good crop of coaches right now, but they all have been in place for a while. How many leagues have had all the same head coaches since 2016? I’m guessing it’s just the Ivy. The league as a whole doesn’t fire people unless they go 2-26 or have some kind of scandal.

FWIW, re: the Ivy League and NIL, Columbia has made an official effort to create opportunities for its student-athletes: https://gocolumbialions.com/news/2022/11/15/gener a...

It is too late for the Ivies, as the sneaker companies and TV/media have aligned around select conferences and teams. It would indeed take a league-wide commitment to turn this around, starting with scholarships, facilities, coaching, and now NIL. They would have to reach deep into the unsavory bowels of AAU recruiting as well. Every data point of the past has shown me that the Ivy Presidents don't really care. In fact, I don't entirely blame them anymore. Athletics has totally skewed universities to do crazy things to/for their student athletes. That is why I won't be burned up by getting crushed by the major conferences anymore. NIL and further conference consolidation makes competing with the high majors an even fainter hope than before. I'm OK with that. I'll just focus on the Ivy season.
