In response to palestra38
Army/Navy don't fit the mold of the Ivies in any way. Dartmouth isn't going anywhere. They wouldn't be permitted to stay in the Ivies if they withdrew from basketball. And the union issue will be on appeal for years.
My labor law expertise is limited to handling a few cases as a judicial clerk on a court that heard quite a few labor cases (at least in those days). But I would not be surprised if cutting MBB in retaliation for forming a union would result in legal consequences....
And besides, IMHO it would really be a dickish move on Dartmouth's part. That's not our style. While it's obvious that Dartmouth is unhappy with the unionization, it is far more likely that the college continues to challenge the union through the legal process (which, as you say, will take quite a while). By then, everyone will have calmed down a bit...
Winning last night certainly helped MBB's cause. Can't hurt to say that we're undefeated after unionizing!
