The Ivy League does not provide athletic scholarships, secondly the quality of the athletes in the league are not the highest in the country. Good luck to him in the classroom!

[Sickko]

True but they do compete against others outside the Ivy League and can qualify for the NCAA finals

the person who came second to one Raymond Stewart at Champs got an academic scholarship to Princeton. he was good enuff to get an athletic scholarship to anywhere in the world. so no one should say they are not good enuff just because they chose another route.

[Rudi]

LOL. The canteaur must get the memo this year. Head can't tough so.

Even some NCAA colleges get their players academic scholarship to take the pressure off their budget.

I got academic scholarship as my GPA from Comm College was good enough and it means the coach could spread the money to get a few other players. Unless you have great GPA Ivy League won't even bother with a yard player.

[Hortical]

The school has to be careful when it comes to academic scholarships for athletes. Harvard did something similar sometime ago, and one of their rival schools submitted a complaint to the league.

[Assasin]

if the athlete have the credential then I can't see a problem.

[Hortical]

Yeah, I agree.
