(Princeton) won 12 Ivy League titles and 15 league championships overall. You want to hear something crazy?In the last three years, more than 40 percent of Princeton Athletic seasons ended in a league championship. That's across every team.
Dartmouth? Football won a share of the Ivy League title and the women's golf team earned the first Ivy title in school history.
Unless I missed one, the Big Green won two Ivy titles this year. How does that compare to other schools not named Princeton? I don't know.
How does that compare to Dartmouth's championships in years past? I don't know.
What I wish I could do is visit the Ivy League website, click on a school and pull up a year-by-year list of its Ivy League championships. If that's available on the Ivy site (and I'm pretty sure it's not), good luck finding it.
There was a time when most of that information was readily available in one place. While the web may hold more information I'm here to tell you finding what you needed was a lot easier and much faster in this late-and-lamented volume that I still consult to this day:

But c'mon SI, you can do better. Check out the caption to the photo and the lede to the story (italics are mine):
Roger Federer delivered an already iconic graduation speech at Dartmouth University over the weekend, inspiring more than just the students sitting in the audience.
That never, ever, ever would have happened when SI had more fact checkers, as your grandparents might have said, "than Carter had liver pills."
