He was a great football man. He never coached in the Ivy League, nor, I believe, in college. So, with great respect, no, he is not speaking a universal truth. Moreover, well before today, non-money factors like Ivy limits on sports -- for example, the one-time effort to limit intercollegiate athletes' exposure to their coaches -- resulted in the loss of at least one great Ivy coach at Princeton in a women's sport, and probably other Ivy coaches.
If the trend continues, like chopping down the number of Ivy football recruits permanently (let alone limiting the roster, which I have a difficult time believing they are actually considering), you may see the loss of other Ivy coaches. Money would only be an add-on factor.
OL -- I enjoy reading your posts. I will give you what IMO is a much more apt quote: "A bird likes to fly, a coach likes to win." Pete Carril. When P declined to match the moves of the rising power, in addition to traditional admissions differences P coaches often face, Johnson left. Money no do doubt comes in, but I consider my source unimpeachable and for Johnson it wasn't only about the money. Cheers.
