Looking for balance in the Ivy League - Aug 03, 2009 | 13:45:38
posted by: Molly Gallagher
The new face at the Ivy League, executive director Robin Harris, will encounter a number of challenges with her new title, not the least of which is incorporating athletics into the Ivy's rich academic profile. In working with presidents, admissions officers, deans and athletic directors, Harris will aim to promote and market the athletic conference while maintaining the importance placed on academics and the student-athlete's educational experience. Issues regarding post-season play in football and basketball and the availability of financial aid among member institutions have long been debated, and while Harris says those are not on the table right now, she is actively looking to form a television partner to broadcast Ivy competition to increase the publicity of athletics within the Ivy League.

Experience in multiple sports is great for a developing youth. However, success breeds confidence. Bottom line should be life lessons learned.
