So does this mean 48 fully funded scholarships?48 will be the number.
It means that they can fully fund up to 48 but the roster is limited to 48. It’s an additional 35 scholarshipsSo does this mean 48 fully funded scholarships?
Ivys have unlimited “financial aid”. They will be ok.
There are so many ways this can go but the general consensus is smaller conference schools are going to feel the pain.
Harvard, Princeton and Yale are absolutely gaming the financial aid system. I would wager a lot that UPenn is too. I can't speak to Dartmouth or Brown but it wouldn't shock me. Cornell I assume does.They have the resources to do it, but the Ivies cannot offer a full ride to most candidates. If they tried there would be admission office leaks that would quickly end it. Watch Duke swoop in with full rides. I think they will be the biggest winner.

It's fun to say for the Ivy powers that be at their cocktail parties that they are above offering athletic scholarships but don't kid yourself. They are doing even more.
Yep, they are able to stack financial aid, athletic scholarship , and then awards to get coveted layersIt’s happening. I personally know of more than a few examples. It’s happening in women’s lacrosse too.
Full financial aid packages? It some cases yes. In many cases less than they’d pay at a state school.
I think there is a gamble on the tv audience and markets paying more in the future. LAX is growing, but I don’t know if ther money is there yet. PLL guys are working on Wall Street Monday - Thursday before leaving town to play games.Probably. Ivy's aside, they only school's I can see funding at the max level are Acc/B1G schools.
Don't forget, there is Title 9 considerations as well that will need to be funded.
There is a lot in play but few scenarios play out well for smaller conference schools. Their alumni are going to have to step up en masse if they want to keep pace.
The more I hear about NIL at big conference schools the more it's becoming obvious the smaller conference schools are going to have trouble competing. Not really sure how this is great for the game of lacrosse as a whole but it's good we are on the right side of the ledger.
Only Power 5 schools are subject to the settlement agreement and thus the roster limits. Any nonP5 school may opt in but that seems unlikely. The only reason they'll have to opt in is if the American U wrestling coach's rumor is true:Cuts. Starting next year there can only be 48 total players. Scholarships or not.
PLL is in it's infancy. Through the 70's NFL players routinely had second jobs. The funding for the PLL is strong and the numbers are getting better every year.
I think we will see a similar trajectory as the MLS though not as robust. Those franchises have increased in value significantly. The early buy in was $3MM-$5MM a little more than 20 years ago. San Diego's cost of entry was $500MM.

No, Leonard23 is correct. The 48-man roster limit is only for Power 5 schools. Non-Power 5 schools can choose to opt in to the agreement to participate in revenue sharing and no scholarship limits but would then be limited by the roster cap. I think that it is very unlikely that service academies would opt to participate in revenue sharing, so they would essentially continue operating as usual. This is likely the case for the Ivies as well. JHU would likely opt out and continue business as usual.That’s not my understanding. It’s a D1 limit.

For lacrosse it is. The way I read it is that any school that offers athletic scholarships I’ll now have a cap on players. So Hopkins can give out 48 ships but can not exceed the 48 cap. I believe that the P5 part is the revenue sharing pieceI wonder if Hopkins is a P5 school.
Did you read the article Cali linked to above? Terry Foy notes "That means that, in men’s lacrosse, this situation may only affect 11 programs: Duke, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Syracuse, Utah and Virginia."For lacrosse it is.
