Much of the finale is in REVERSE!
Took a moment to spot it, because as usual Berkeley's big production number is MASSIVE enough to almost disguise it. Most apparent during the bits where the dancers are huddled, then burst out to form the logos of the various college teams. No way could that something like that been done on a gigantic staircase using conventional choreography methods. Thus, the dancers really BEGAN in the letter formations, then ran together for the huddle, with Berkeley playing it in reverse during the finished film. Same for several other segments in the overall sequence.
