 "More knowledgeable posters could tell us whether an FCS team ever has been granted the waiver."

Army @ Yale in 2014 to celebrate Yale Bowl's centennial was likely the most recent waiver, IIRC.

"Bowl eligibility wouldn’t have been an issue this year for Rice (4-8) or UMass (2-10)."

True, but since such games are generally scheduled several years in advance, no self-respecting FBS school is going to schedule a future game with the mindset of "we're probably going to suck a few years from now, so bowl eligibility isn't a consideration."

FBS/Ivy games can certainly be scheduled (Army/Dartmouth would have happened this year, for example). My point is just that there are additional hurdles for an Ivy to overcome than merely finding a willing FBS opponent with an open date and six figures in the checking account, like the Patriot and CAA schools do.
