Looking at the 2017 bracket, every team got 3 games so maybe Penn will get to play some Power 5 schools |

I take it playing a non-DI school is not required to show the Jam's bouncer at the door. |

As I just mentioned on the twitters... this means no more MTEs for Penn until 2021. The 2-in-4 is such a stupid, stupid, stupid Ivy rule. |

Yeah it really is a dumb rule, but at least this is an actual good event and seems like the right timing for Penn to be a part of a legit one! |

I’m psyched to go! The teams we face should be intimidated playing the 2017-2018 Ivy Champs. |

couple that with the fact that that same team is from the city of the NFL Champs, and they will be shaking in their high tops! |

Don't make reservations for this one yet. The tournament is held on St Thomas. Just read a travel article that said while the airport is open again, there are a number of large hotels which don't expect to open until the end of the year. This was a tournament that got moved to the mainland last year because of one of the terrible hurricanes (I forget which one). |
