Courts may say it's illegal to have that sort of split, for some inane reason. The lawsuit against the Ivy League for not having athletic scholarships will be instructive.

It would be ridiculous to disallow the Ivy League from maintaining the status quo.  I know that Harvard offers generous aid to students across the board and I think it should be fair to the schools to continue to do so without regard to whether one is involved in athletics or not.

[*]Families with annual incomes of $75,000 or less do not pay anything toward the cost of a Harvard College education.
[*]Nearly 1 in 4 undergraduates comes from a family whose annual income is $75,000 or less.
[*]Harvard provides a $2,000 “start-up” grant to each of these students in their first year.
[*]Harvard also provides aid for low-income students to pay for health insurance, books, travel costs home, winter coats, event fees, and other activities to ensure every student can engage in the Harvard experience.

Although Ivy sports are considered D1, they really don't generate a great deal of income, etc.  I loved my experience playing intercollegiate sports and am mourning what's become of today's D1 women's college basketball.  I prefer the Ivy League model and I also enjoy supporting women's D3 basketball now.
