In response to Tiger69
Trump has never made a sizeable (at least according to his supposed wealth) donation to Penn.
However, Penn's wealth has skyrocketed under the current Penn administration, which is why Amy Gutmann is now serving the longest Penn Presidency in modern history. So they're doing very well. If they wanted to, say, endow and restore a Division 1 hockey program, they easily could do it.
There is a difference however, in providing financial aid to 20,000 students as opposed to 5000....and Princeton's student body is, on the whole, wealthier and needs less aid. So if financial aid to athletes is based on giving financial aid to everyone, it's not exactly a level playing field for either the smaller, less wealthy schools (Dartmouth and Brown) or the larger schools (Penn and Cornell).
