As a group, the Ivy members sponsor the greatest number of varsity sports per school of any athletic conference in the country. How would you propose to offer athletic scholarships for only the basketball teams. To do it for all sports is far more expensive for the Ivies than for virtually any non-Ivy. (Of course the Ivies with their multi-billion dollar endowments could afford to do it but they never will.). Granting athletic scholarships on only some of the varsity sports is an invitation to litigation that the Ivies would lose.
