In response to Tiger69
An important difference between the football factories and the Ivies is that the coaches run the former and the educators the latter. I’ll stick with that. Great season without as many as FIVE additional games spread over a month with travel all over the US for a trophy with little meaning. Our 100+ guys have nothing to prove and better ways to spend their time. Where does football end?
I hear what you're saying, but (in addition to P38's points above) there are some things you must bear in mind:
- EVERY other Ivy sport is permitted to participate in post season play.
- The only reason football is the exception to this is that the people at Harvard and Yale believe that America gives a sh1t about their precious little 'The Game,' and (like the petulant children they are) they insist that it be the final game of the Ivy season.
