Fordham traditionally has been a competitive program. Indeed, they made the playoffs in 2022. They had a year when almost everything went wrong in 2024, but I have full confidence that they will get back on track. Dartmouth just happened to catch them when they were absolutely decimated by injuries.

Assuming that (as I think is the case), Columbia's title was not a fluke, I would expect Columbia-Fordham to be a jump ball going forward.

One possible reason why Harvard didn't play UMass- Tim Murphy rarely if ever scheduled a competitive game for the Crimson's OOC games. Now that Murphy has moved on, we will see if Harvard's OOC philosophy changes.

As for Restic, I'm not sure why Harvard stopped playing UMass, but Restic did put some challenging games on the Crimson schedule after 1988 (Army twice, Northeastern, William & Mary). He wasn't a coward. And in the mid-1990s, all Ivies scheduled exclusively with all Patriots for several years.

Just saw Lafayette's 2025 schedule: 2 FBS games:
Bowling Game and Oregon State ($500,000). I could see Ivies scheduling a MAC team also. The Patriot League teams do 11-12 game every year-gives them a little more flexibilty than the Ivies.
