Top college sports programs according to SI

This week's cover story in Sports Illustrated is devoted to the 200 best Division I athletic programs.

Cornell clocks in at No. 74, two ahead of BU at 76. The John Harvards, owners of the biggest college athletic program in the country, are the top-ranked Ivy school at 41 (or 44 if my memory is bad).

P.S. Lest I forget, good luck to the Big Red in the upcoming 2002-03 season. To keep all parties happy, how about a split over Thanksgiving weekend?

We finish 4th in the Ivies, 2 slots behind Penn. Huge drop-off from 7th (Dartmouth at 108) to 8th (Columbia at 166).

Wonder where we'd rank without the "biggest natural indoor rock-climbing wall."

We make up in volume what we lack in Ivy success, I guess.

Nice to see you back, Mark.

I don't know, Al. Last year, men's basketball notwithstanding, was a very good year for the Big Red.

Take a minute to list for us all of Cornell's Ivy League championships for 2001-2002, bra.

Don't worry...I know you're busy...it won't take but a second.

Well, there's hockey . . . does anything else matter?

(In any event I was thinking more about lax, wrestling, women's hoops, polo, etc. - if there is an etc.)

So, you're saying you think the football team was bad LAST year?

baseball wasn't so hot, but softball was

Michigan came in at #10, and they had this to say about Yost: "It's the Cameron Indoor Stadium of college hockey". Where's the outrage?

yeah i just got the si yesterday. kinda think stanford shoulda been number 1. but oh well.
