The Ivy League at 30: A Model for College Athletics or an Outmoded Antique?
Lederman, Douglas
Chronicle of Higher Education, v33 n12 p1,40 Nov 19 1986

The league adopted two major tenets: athletes would be admitted under the same criteria as other students, and colleges would only provide need based financial aid. (MLW)
