If Cal went to the Ivy model, millions of dollars in grants in aid would be saved and available to support all sports. The money so saved would far offset the travel costs. I assume Cal would go Ivy for all sports. Thus, the non-revenue sports would be much easier to fund.
1. Ivy League does give scholarships, they just call them "academic" grants
2. If you really eliminate scholarships, you are all likely eliminating a lot of kids who can't afford Cal.
