The genesis of the idea for the Ivy League to play in FCS playoffs came via a proposal from Ivy League student athletes. The proposal from the league’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) was approved Tuesday by a vote of the Ivy League Council of Presidents.


That's pretty cool to see. I always wondered why they didn't do this. Curious how all the nerds will stack up against FCS playoff teams.

I don't know a damn thing about any of those teams, so I'd be lying if I said I agreed.

Are they good?

Their admission policies for people making under a certain amount (like 150k) essentially are scholarships

Money is green, doesn't matter if you're a snotty Ivy or Southeastern. Too proud and uppity is expensive these days

Good for them. Never made sense that they participated in the basketball tournament but not football.

The Ivy League with NIL is insane.

Harvard has a $53 billion endowment .
