Every other program in the Ivy League gets the opportunity to compete for a national championship. There better be a Title IX lawsuit if this is not approved.

Ivies will be recognized as a higher level FCS conference now that they are playoff bound.Very few outward undergraduate transfers.There will be an influx of 2nd teamers from Duke,Cal,Stanford,Northwestern,Tulane,SMU,BC.Wonder when they’ll go to an 11-12 game schedule.They are at 10 total games today.
Graduate transfers not allowed but that may change too.

Exactly.The Ivies have 8 teams as does the PL.They often play OOC games v eachother.
Outcomes are often in Ivy favor which will even further lower the PL rating to an AQ only in the eyes of the committee

PL plays a lot of Ivy league teams. May help PL's resume to win a few.

Adding Cambridge,Mass or New Haven,CT to December venues will be a climatic challenge for some

Hailey loves the Ivies.He’ll make sure he has 2 Ivies in the Top 20 STATS poll every week-likely Yale and Harvard.

One less at-large berth for the CAA.

In 2024 Yale beat host Holy Cross by 7 and beat visiting Lehigh by 15.

Harvard beat UNH by 5 and Holy Cross by 1.
