ha. true. my last thought on this....these ivy kids pay an incredible price. strength and conditioning undoubtedly has come a long way in 20 yrs since i was in the grind, but for all levels.
this being said, its a question of relative development. 20 yrs ago i remember 4 of my teammates had wall st internships for 2 of 4 yrs. we all worked out religiously when we had time but....when i played with the georgetown guys in the kenner league there was a big difference. they played on the same summer league team (i was the add on) in a very competitive league in their home gym (with a lot of mid major add ons who were locals) and went to summer school. basketball was their full time job when not in class 1-2 hrs a day all summer.
anyway, from what i can gather, it is more stark today bc you can actually work out with your coaches in the offseason. so it matters if you arent on campus in the summer.
this all being said, the ivy kids do the same during the school year so we are only really talking about 3 mos a year.
so i think the key differentiating factor is nutrition. at the ivy league level the onus is on the individual. at the power 5, its not a choice but a mandate with all the requisite convenience and availability of a training table.
lastly guys like miye oni and others have serious personal trainers in the summer. of course that helps. but its expensive unless of course you are good enough to have a future profit sharing arrangement:) so not everyone has this access.
