Six weeks ago the eight institutions were willing to listen for the case for the allowance of a football playoff but there was no timetable to vote on this motion. With no set date I suspected that the school presidents and AD’s were just placating the whole thing.

Author: Go Green [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 06:59:52 12/17/24 Tue It's been reported that Dartmouth's current president is in favor of post season participation. As far as I can tell, the only other Ivy president to show support of post season participation was... a former Dartmouth president. The rest of you need to turn it up a notch.

I have lost track of the exact number. But the notion that, with so many interim and brand new Presidents, the Presidents would change a 68-year-old policy on football which has withstood prior efforts at change does not seem realistic.

observer: where do H&Y stand? The last time I wrote Eisgruber about athletics, mainly about restoring the number of football recruits to 120/4, I got a brief generality off point. In prior correspondence he was much more responsive on athletic issues I raised. He, like the rest of the Presidents, have things that I assume loom much more important to them at this moment so I wasn't surprised too much by his basically ignoring my issue.
