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.

This is a must-read for NBA fans and a great article in general. My favorite part is when Elgin goes Clay Davis on chartered flights and the pampered NBA lifestyle and then asks casually, "You ever hear about the time we crashed in a cornfield?"
Also, Mike Dunleavy is a cheater. Tell your friends.

A U.S. Army Reservist at the time, Elgin lived in a barracks in the state of Washington, leaving only whenever they gave him a weekend pass ... and even with that pass, he could only fly coach on flights with multiple connections to meet the Lakers wherever they happened to be playing. Once he arrived, he would throw on a uniform and battle the best NBA players alive on back-to-back nights.
