Reply to comment by OPsDaddy in No. 15 Princeton shocks No. 2 Arizona with come-from-behind upset by okgusto

Real question: are the basketball players at Princeton going there on a basketball scholarship like other schools (and thus maybe not as privileged as the typical student population), or do they just take players from their general student population?

They don't get athletic scholarships but are still recruited to play basketball. Most of them came to Princeton for basketball. They are like "preferred walk-ons" in football.

Ivies typically only give scholarships that are need-based.
