Brown was declared ineligible for the Ivy League championship, though its league record would have placed it in a tie for third. In their third season under head coach Phil Estes, the Bears compiled a 7–3 record and outscored opponents 375 to 301. Gordon Chen, N. Finneran and Drew Inzer were the team captains.Game-by-Game Results (1878-2019) (Football) Brown University Providence, R.I.

The NCAA ruled that the students implicated in the report were not at fault and would retain their eligibility, but the Ivy League, with its stricter rules about financial aid, chose a harsher penalty to send a message to Brown and other member schools that recruiting violations would not be tolerated. Football and the other three Brown teams were also hit with tighter restrictions on recruiting activities for 2001 and 2002.Brown Barred from Winning League Title David Abel August 2, 2000 B2 The Boston Globe Boston, Mass.
