Ah, the old ice cream consumption leads to shark attacks logic...
Penn's not losing kids to Yale because Yale's offering better FA packages.
EVERY Ivy has benefited from expanded financial aid. That's why the talent in the league is better across the board. Some Ivies have leveraged the expanded FA better than others. Some had the right coaches in place to catch the wave and ride it in. Others were struggling to find the right coaching fit at the time and missed the wave and now are trying to find another one to catch up.
Coaching turmoil both at the top and with assistants is deadly when recruiting is heating up. If you want to know why Harvard fell from its perch, take a look at when its turnover occurred and what those related classes have produced. Last year, Harvard's 2013, 2014 and 2015 recruiting classes combined for 4.9 win shares. Its 2016 class produced 11.1 alone.
