We could be headed there someday if this NIL thing isn’t controlled better in the future.

I think this is a further sign that anything is on the table. If SMU can basically buy a playoff berth, why couldn’t the Ivy League start to ramp things up and get in on not just the FCS playoff action, but the FBS action eventually as well. The money is there.

As someone who lives with a former Columbia cheerleader, one who witnessed ONE Lion win during her four-year tenure, we’re still celebrating Columbia’s first share of an Ivy League title in 63 years. :smiley:

I would pay money to see Shadduer Sanders in a Cambridge, Mass classroom

Doing what?

Solving differential equations?

I doubt he’s any less academically capable than many of the legacies and Dean’s List admits at Harvard. And that’s not even considering the notorious Z-Listers.

I have zero use for most of the Ivy League at the current time.

Or like his dad, who “majored in eligibility” while at FSU

It was always weird that the Ivy League didn’t let football teams be eligible for the playoffs when its other sports always have been postseason-eligible.

NESCAC football follows the Ivy model and doesn’t participate in D3 playoffs.

We can all agree that Yale sucks, but you’ve got problems with the other seven?

Gonna be funny when a bunch of bulge bracket managing directors decide they want to go full bore on Ivy NIL.
