Except for Lacrosse, Hockey, Rowing and Wrestling, the Ivies are now the "shape-shifters" of collegiate athletics.

It would be interesting to compare the respective football and women's crew budgets at these institutions. Note also with exceptions of U of W, Berkley and Stanford, none of the schools boat varsity men's crew. Kudos to Brown for what they've achieved. Brava to the state schools for giving our Olympic opponents unparalleled 4-year training.
