I asked the same question last week on the Penn board---the Ivy League playing for a TV contract.

Seems like an unfair advantage for road teams to get an extra day for travel and rest. Surprised there aren't a lot of complaints about this, unless there is a move afoot to make all the games go to Friday/Sunday. Are the Ivy traditions dying one by one?

Well, last week it did not help Cornell---they were down 42-14 at the half.

The travel between Penn and Princeton is minimal. The Cornell-Columbia and Harvard-Dartmouth trips, however, can be a different story particularly when the weather is not good.
Really, does it matter whether Penn plays Yale today or last night? For TV purposes, I guess it does, but I can't imagine the travel takes much if any of a toll.
