    Penn State and UCLA have made it clear that they will not engage with Elevate’s⁢ newly launched college sports fund—a move that has taken many industry observers by surprise who had anticipated potential collaborations. ​Reports suggest that this decision is ‌rooted​ in concerns over how financial ​investments could affect compliance with⁢ NCAA regulations ​as‌ well as student-athlete experiences. Both institutions reiterated their dedication to upholding core values while prioritizing athlete welfare by choosing to strengthen existing partnerships rather than pursuing ‍new financial commitments.

    This stance‍ indicates a ‍focus on alternative strategies for enhancing ⁢their‌ athletic programs.
