On the other hand, I believe that Holy Cross qualifying more likely undercut the respect for the quality of basketball at the top of the PL. Nationally, people remember that at 14-20 Holy Cross was an entertaining outlier, not that Bucknell (14-4) and Lehigh (13-5) battled for the regular season title.

For instance, if Dartmouth can win the Ivy Tournament and enter the NCAA's at 10-19, then the likely conclusion will be that Princeton, Harvard and Yale must not have been that good. That's a risk associated with the tournament. Dartmouth (and probably Penn or Columbia) are less likely to be celebrated outside Ivy fans as opposed to the league being minimized.
