just amplifying this statement;-

Most Ivy's have been supporting over 30 varsity sports for a long time. Schools like Texas, Alabama, University of Miami only offer about 16 varsity teams. Notre Dame and Northwestern offer 19 or 20 varsity sports. Ivy's have a very long and rich athletic tradition and in fact have supported more athletes than just about all schools. They absolutely invest in their student athletes.

Please explain how they support???? Ivies could have 100 varsity sports because The ivy student athletes PAY to play. The schools mentioned above provide athletic $ to SA’s. This goes to the discussion earlier in thread that the ivies will cancel their season in a nano second. That is where there is no support for SA’s that they recruited. And don’t be surprised when the ivies follow the Stanford business model and cut the certain sports that promote white/wealthy participation.

You state:

“The schools mentioned above provide athletic $ to SA’s.”

Really, the school provides “athletic $” to the student athlete? No, they do not.

Do you think the school is paying money therefore they are “invested” in the athletes?

How do you think this works? Do you be believe that the team or the athletic department actually gives the student athlete $$$? Does the SA then pay the tuition, room and board with that “athletic money”?

Oh brother....

Are you serious??? That might be the most uninformed statement here. Have you heard of athletic scholarship. Please try to be somewhat informed. Appears maybe your SA has not received athletic scholarship. How about some simple math. Tuition/room/board/additionals-subtract merit(if qualify)+athletic scholarship or financial = out of pocket $ to attend. Your uninformed misleading statement that athletic Dept gives $ to SA is juvenile and dense
