Ivy League won't join NCAA antitrust settlement

Ivy League executive director Robin Harris said in an email to players and coaches this week that the conference will maintain its scholarly focus rather than accept the roster and endorsement regulations included in the House settlement.

The ND article is a good read. From that article: "Here's the other odd part: Schools such as UND had no voice in the settlement, yet we would still have to pay damages, whether we "opt in" or not."

That explains why it is easier for small schools to opt in, i.e. because they are already on the hook for the money. However, I still don't get why it's called "opt-in".
 
Here's larger images of the explainer docs attached to the tweet.

Hearing from multiple industry people I trust that several D1 schools are having SERIOUS internal talks about reclassifying out of D1 before July/House. I’d be a little surprised if nobody ends up doing it this year. Budget cuts may force some hands.

Not sure what schools end up going through with it or not…nobody wants to be first. And to be fair, some of these situations are more about the SCHOOL being in very rough shape than just House/Rev Share/athletic expenses. Not much you can do in an enrollment/revenue crisis.
