Allure of Performing for Power-Conference Member Poisons Ivy League

Well-endowed Harvard, which should have been more concerned about school ties to sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, accepted admonition about rejecting millions of dollars from Small Business Administration's PPP. Meanwhile, it isn't business as usual for the Crimson and fellow Ivy League members as well-endowed PPPs (Productive Premium Players) leave their programs; especially after conference cowered in fetal position in ivory tower corner because of coronavirus.

The Ivy League is recognized as the nation's most academically prestigious NCAA Division I conference. But as the previously-idealistic Ivy League accepted more athletic exemptions, including transfers from other institutions, the alliance also exponentially increased the number of prominent players leaving the Ivy to learn about playing at the highest athletic level. Ten different All-Ivy players in the previous six seasons transferred to a power conference before Jimmy Boeheim bolted Cornell to join his father and brother with Syracuse. Following is an alphabetical list of players who left the Ivy League for a power-league member:
