Cornell Clinches Ivy League and Invitation to Big Dance

[Muskie]

From the Ithaca Journal (http://www.theithacajournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080303/NEWS01/803030328/1002/NEWS17)

"Playing for its first NCAA tournament berth in two decades, Cornell gave a wired, standing room-only crowd a dominating performance to remember.


Bringing Penn and Princeton's 20-year supremacy over Ivy League men's basketball to a resounding end, Cornell shot Harvard into a 25-point first half deficit and waltzed into the Big Dance with a title-clinching 86-53 victory Saturday night."

That's particularly impressive given all the cheating Amaker is allegedly doing at Harvard.

What's the alleged cheating?

In my opinion more conferences should give their auto bid to regular season champion. They're more deserving that a team just getting hot and playing well for a few games.

Raises some eyebrows... Didn't know Gillen was interested in the Harvard job. In my mind he would have been a great hire for them (and better than Amaker).

You would never think of a school that doesn't even offer athletic scholorships being involved in a recruit scandal.

In some circles, Hahvahd had a Top 25 class; for some reason that raised some eyebroahs.
