What's this?

I think watching what they do with football will be most interesting.

The Ivy League went to great lengths to suppress football in the 1950s. Penn had it's own TV contract like Notre Dame does today, and the Ivy League threatened to kick Penn out if they didn't down grade football.

It will be interesting if they truly want to build it back to some degree. What Stanford has been doing has perhaps opened some eyes.
