I like it, showcase a great rivalry. Would be cool to see them go to Lehigh-Lafayette or The Brawl someday as well.

No way should it go to Lehigh vs Pards this year.

This is a great choice, both teams and good this year. (Yale and Harvard)

The logistics weren't ideal for GameDay making an appearance in NYC. Hardly any students would have been on site at 9 AM. I'm sure that was a major factor in their decision, along with Harvard-Yale having championship implications and Lehigh-Lafayette being a matchup of two lousy teams.

It would have been nice to see them make an appearance, but I wouldn't have wanted to see them at Lafayette either had they not moved the game to Yankee Stadium. Lehigh would have never heard the end of that.

The Ivy presidents should decline it. Because of tradition. Or missed class time. Segregation. Whatever.

The quality of the match-up has nothing to do with it... Incarnate Word and Delaware State... ?

And yes, it should not go to Pards-Lehigh this year... broadcasting from Yankee Stadium negates the entire college game day experience.

Meanwhile, we still play at your place next year, and we don't have a home game from 2012 through 2016... idiots.

This. They are Division IAA because FCS requires a championship.

I hope they talk at length about how these are basically DIII programs if not for the Dayton Rule.

Why would they talk about something that isn't true?

The Ivy is not the PFL

Sure it is. They don't offer athletic scholarships and they don't participate in the post season. They don't schedule outside their "peer group" or whatever the elitists want to call them.

How are they different than a DIII team besides the fact that DIII teams will schedule up if they can.

No Dak - check out Harvard, Yale, and Princeton's financial aid policies. Crappy scheduling and no playoffs aside, these teams are light years away from DIII.

Well their talent level is significantly higher than DIII but otherwise they're not any different.

Those financial aid policies have zero to do with athletics although the athletic programs do take advantage just like the science program.

Do they provide athletic scholarships? Neither do DIII schools.

I would be fine about them talking about how they are elitists and their misguided president's won't let them compete in the FCS playoffs.

But they are way better than DIII, these schools get good athletes and are really solid.

From time to time the select group of non-conference opponents they play are decent and some teams do pass the eye test when I watch them. Yale did beat an FBS team this year.

Here we go... another Ivy debate... no they don't offer scholarships *wink* *wink*... However, most of the kids are getting full rides or significant tuition because the aid threshold is so high... it's this way with Jane Economics student as well. Many of the Harvard players, for example, are getting recruited by top FCS programs... one kid from Harvard had offers from Stanford and Boise State... a Princeton kid had an offer from Florida. The only exception to this notion is Columbia... definitely D-III.

I don't completely disagree but Yale has won at Cal-Poly and against Army in back to back seasons, UPenn plays Nova regularly, Dartmouth played UNH this year etc etc

Harvard and Princeton are the two schools that have really ducked very tough OOC games ovah the last decade or so.

Stop posting. Harvard and Yale get kids every year who have multiple FCS, and many times FBS offers. I had a conversation with an asst. coach at a prominent FCS program recently. He said if a kid they are recruiting gets an offer from Yale or Harvard (or Princeton) he says congrats and moves on.

It's a shame that Game Day will not be at #150...

But, they will make it sooner rather than later. Perhaps next year when LU gets back to its winning ways and the game is at Goodman. A stage overlooking the south EZ would look great on TV.....

Completely honest question with no agenda, if a player leaves the team but continues their degree at the school does the scholarship remain? Does this vary among schools?
