The members of U Penn’s women’s swimming team are upset about Thomas’s dominance and are considering boycotting the team’s final home meet, a move I strongly support, but they do so at risk of their scholarships and everything that comes with those scholarships.
AFAIK there are no athletic scholarships at UPenn (or any of the Ivy-League universities). So if a stand is to be made, a line to be drawn, there’s no better place to do it.
The Ivy league practically invented semantics. Those students have benefits because they swim. Call them what you will.
