    In response to Silver Maple

What I’ve never understood is why the league couldn’t follow the path of the MEAC and SWAC and not have an outright ban on the playoffs, but instead accept only at-large bids or have the auto-bid but have Harvard and Yale known as not accepting the bid if they are the champion and send the 2nd-best team instead.

These are all arrangements that could be made to satisfy everyone involved here. That’s gotta be the most frustrating part here - it’d be one thing if there was unanimous opposition to the playoffs or that you need the support to be unanimous based on selection rules. But with the flexibility the FCS playoffs have shown, there’s no reason the Ivies couldn’t thread a solution here that worked for all if they wanted to.
