While the Ivies clearly will have some NIL recruiting and transfer portal challenges, I feel the University administration and admissions officers are now far more concerned with how to handle potential legal challenges to Ivy athlete and legacy preferences in admissions. Until that gets better resolved over time in the courts, there is no way whatsoever that our Ivy administrators would dare to consider breaking up the Ivy League.

The Ivy administrator's and our faculty's number one priority is to maintain our cherished status as the most elite conference academically. This represents an unprecedented period of very challenging times for the Ivy League with minimal appetite to rock the boat to appease some alumni who want to return to former athletic glory days.

This video was very informative with good examples on Duke, Stanford and Northwestern striking a perfect balance between being a athletic blue blood and remaining a World- class institution. Splitting the Ivy brethren is a terrible idea. There can’t be two Ivy Leagues . So, which one will have to submit to a name change? Rice makes sense but they’re located In Huston, that’s too far away to the Ivy’s liking. JMU would make the best sense. I’m in favor of adding MIT. Other than Football , Women’s and Men’s Basketball they could be competitive right away. The biggest hurdle I see is whom will they play on the final football week? Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe Brown and Dartmouth look to Harvard as their unreciprocated chief rival. MIT and Harvard will be an outstanding rivalry game for the second to final week. Would rotating Brown , Dartmouth as the final game and every third year one of these teams play a occ game for the final week be accepted?
