Dark Energy Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 16 hours ago, Jim L said: Honestly, I think that primarily goal is academics is mostly lip service. Outside of FB and BB, the Ivies tend do compete well with best in the nation (similar to wrestling). Most of the high level athletes would not stand a chance at Ivy league admission without their athletic accomplishments. They may be better much better than average students compared the collegiate population as whole, but for most athletics is more important than academics They do have a few official rules like no redshirting and no grad students competing and a few specific FB rules - freshman cant play varsity (not sure if this rule is still in effect) and the FB team cant go to the FCS playoffs. Your examples + no athletic scholarships show it is not lip service. But I agree that sports still matter to them. Still - if look on horizon … paying athletes outright, I can see the Ivy presidents and leadership really not liking where this is headed and are trying to wall off the league. Again, speculation but I can see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not the Real Scribe Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 To flush all that tradition? This is awful. I grew up on Lehigh and EIWA wrestling on TV! I used to enjoy attending the EIWA's. An all-Ivy qualifier...nope - and I'm sure most would agree. Full stands in the arena? More likely a HS gym if they are lucky, and they won't be full. From a spectator perspective (important), I would say they took 10 giant steps backwards. Would love to know what group of folks thought this was a good thing?? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espn+ are completely separate streams, doesn't matter what is before or after. Now if on the big ESPN it might but they will always give you the start on the U or the 2.
