I said that it would be the longest Ivy road trip in years. 2023 and 2024 are both years. So I think, technically, I'm correct.

Not following that explanation, as a more distant road game was played in 2023.

But no matter, and to return to the remanining question - what hapened to the additional 2 games originally announced between Yale and Mercer (my mistake - it was announced in 2016, not 2018)?

I'm not one who puts a smiley face emoji or a cute set of punctuation marks after a punchline. That doesn't mean I wouldn't benefit from doing so from time to time.

Mercer got an opportunity for a guarantee game at Alabama in 2021 (the year of the second Y-Mercer game), and had to shuffle their schedule, moving a conference game to the date of the Yale game.
I am guessing at that point the schools mutually decided to scrap the remaining games -- either that, or scheduling fallout from the Covid-canceled season necessitated a dissolution of the agreement.
(Also worth noting that I don't think Mercer was too happy with the condition of the Yale Bowl "grass" field -- a.k.a., the Sandbox -- in the 2018 game; not sure if that factored into the decision-making.)
