In response to rbg
It might be fatal, but it might also not. Hopefully it will force the universities to do something they have avoided for quite awhile-- take a hard look at what the purpose of intercollegiate athletics should be for Ivy League institutions. Where a thoughtful, honest conversation might lead is anybody's guess. It might lead to offering scholarships and trying to compete at the highest levels of college sports. It also might mean to deemphasizing intercollegiate sports, perhaps even dropping down to division 3. Or it might lead to other outcomes I haven't thought of.
