Football would be a stretch due to the amount of players on the team. To be fair, basketball would be a lot easier, as you only need to find a couple.
Duke finds enough players for basketball that sort of meet the criteria, and Georgetown in the 80's, I swear, used to have a waiver.


I think your all not realizing is that Harvard (every Ivy League school) does not offer athletic scholarships.
While Harvard is one of the most inexpensive schools to attend other than maybe Stanford it would still be hard to compete without scholarships to offer.

I realize that, and also realize that if they so chose, they could decide to give scholarships out for sports.

Heck, if they focused on basketball and decided to push a "business- How to manage your impending multi-million dollar income" curriculum, they'd be a big draw to the elite NBA prospects; assuming, of course, that the players' personal advisor/leeches don't try to steer them away from that

Because I'm certain the first week's classes would be: get rid of Uncle Bob, he isn't your friend or really even related to you, he just wants to milk your potential earnings.
