Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 4565635, member: 7631"] Thank you, Deacon. I was going to make two points. The first is what you said. The lawsuit even acknowledged that the athletes have the choice to go to another elite universities that offers athletic scholarships. That to me says that if they have suffered any harm it's self-inflicted. The other thing is, it's not like the Ivies are alone among elite universities in not offering athletic scholarships. Off the top of my head, Johns Hopkins, WashU, Chicago, Tufts, Brandeis . . . They're not Division I (in all sports*), but then should that really be a dividing line? We don't know if the plaintiffs were offered athletic scholarships to DI schools. I'll bet they weren't offered by the schools cited in the suit -- Duke and Stanford -- and I suspect if they'd been offered at Northwestern, they'd likely have bitten. [/QUOTE]
