Harvard started the meet on an ominous note when it had to forfeit at 125 lbs. due to injuries, putting the team in a six-point hole from the outset.

...true that $25.9 billion could rescue much of Niger from famine. It could buy crates of second line antibiotics to combat multi-drug resistant tuberculosis worldwide. Harvard’s endowment could even de-mine the Korean border eight times over. In doing so, however, Harvard would forfeit the money necessary to cultivate the University’s unique contributions to education and research. The University would merely be accomplishing something that every charity is set up to do at the cost of what only Harvard can do.Granted, no one is willing to empty the endowment for landmines...
