Investigate HP Rosters #2

Question... did one company corner the collegiate athletics webpages market? The skins on this pages are different, but the sitemap and menu items are very similar across platforms...

In any event, one could do this across many universities, but starting with the HYP trio seems digestible and interesting.

Harvard

Player rosters go reasonably far back as well. The menus separate hometown and highschool (Yale and Princeton concatenate them).

Princeton

Player bio pages look quite similar to the yale system, although the landing page system is much more modern. Player IDs in the bio URLs suggest that the bios for a given player across years may be more consistent than Yale's because they are dynamically generated, rather than being generated once per year.
