At this time, being the number 1 seed gives you a chance to play the 4 seed and Yale beat Cornell. On a neutral court, Yale was supposed to defeat Penn because they had better record and had beaten Penn twice. Penn had no advantage.

I am from the era when winning the regular season was all that mattered. Penn and Princeton dominated that format, and it was changed.

Now, we have a tournament, and Penn has now won twice (once on its home court and I freely admit that point.). Yale has won four and Princeton one. Yale has done well within the current system. COVID ruined 2 seasons.

I doubt you will satisfy everybody's idea of fair, and I doubt the league will pay for a neutral court facility.

Cornell's facility was great and Ithaca itself had plenty of nice restaurants. My wife and I had a marvelous visit. We would also love to visit the other Ivy venues.

Princeton has won the ILT twice: the inaugural tournament at the Palestra in 2017 and in 2023 at Jadwin, the magical year that they then advanced to the Sweet Sixteen.
