If the bottom line of the above comments is that Yale’s prexy has no influence on sports in general or football in particular, there is real world data indicating otherwise. I am referring to the two Ivy Football crowns won in the 20 year Levin reign and the 4 FB championships (plus multiple national championships in HW crew, hockey and lax)during Salovey’s 11 yrs at the helm. Levin couldn’t care less about sports, while his successor was an enthusiastic supporter. The tone is set at the top!

It is the 8 presidents, not the ADs or the Commissioner who set parameters for athletics in this conference, among other things. The new Prexy at Yale (along with those incoming at Harvard, Cornell, Penn and perhaps other places) can be a big force for change.

It's also worth noting that the demise of the Pac-12 is all at the hands of those schools' presidents, who botched the Larry Scott/TV Rights situation so badly, that Stanford now competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
