Still, though you won’t hear John Madden say that you have to pass to win the game, offensive balance is the accepted norm. In the Ivy League this season, only two teams are straying outside of a 60-40 percent breakdown of run and pass. Cornell is at 61 percent pass; the other team is Yale, which has vaulted up to No. 16 in the I-AA poll with a blistering 4-0 start. The Bulldogs are at 76 percent...

The 21st century has seen the introduction of several initiatives to address prohibitively high tuitions among elite institutions; some, including Harvard, have even moved to eliminate parental contributions from low-income students. But with an endowment larger than some countries’ GDPs, the question becomes...
