Illustrated Covers Featuring The Ivy League
In honor of its 50th anniversary, Sports
Illustrated has published its covers (approximately 2,500 in all) on its
website and with that release, we have discovered a number of covers featuring
Ivy athletes and connections which have never been accounted on previous
Ivy lists. Below is a list of 41 Ivy covers (and four loose connections).
