Can the Ivies Compete in Big-Time Sports? | Newsweek Money | Newsweek.com

This article is about how new tuition policies in a few of the Ivies might make it a more attractive place to attend for some top athletes...and whether or not this new tuition policy would make these schools more competitive in athletes. I didn't even know about this tuition policy and think it's great that it exists.

Quoted: Under Harvard's new tuition policy announced in December—and matched by Yale, Penn, Brown, and Dartmouth—families with incomes under $60,000 could send their children to college for free. Families earning up to $180,000 would pay, at most, 10 percent of their incomes on tuition. Other grants could make tuition nil for many other students.

ESPN: Tourney challenge: By the numbers

Tells you how crazy this year's tourney is (thanks to Eugene for the link).

Quoted: More than 1.5 million people participated and of the more than 3 million entries submitted only four -- that's right, four -- picked a Final Four including Florida, George Mason, LSU and UCLA before the tournament started. Over 66 percent of entries had none of the Final Four teams correct and better than 29 percent had exactly two teams correct.
