"Ivies have zero investment in their student athletes. No athletic money and most SA are “paying the freight” to attend. Unfortunately for the SA attending the ivies the schools have no incentive to play. In fact...... they are saving money and adding to their multi billion dollar endowments"
If money is truly the reason for cutting athletic teams Brown and Cornell could head in that direction. Apparently, Cornell had an operating deficit of $104,236,000 for 2019. Brown appears to have had a $25,362,000 deficit for 2019. Dartmouth had a surplus of $32,607.000 and they are cutting teams. The rest of the IVY's seem to be doing OK. The remaining 5 schools all had operating surpluses of $200,000,000 or more...
