At least he does understand what some of us fans are desiring for...

Noel goes on to voice his support for starting the FB season earlier, allowing teams to have bye weeks and making the conference champion eligible for the FCS Playoffs. “To be prepared for that first game knowing the opponent is going to have two games under their belt is really a tough challenge for Ivy schools…and I would love to see the Ivy champion go to the Playoffs.”
To the tune of the Running Man (a South Korean TV series) tagline... "Just Keep Lobbying Man!"
(What I mean is that I keep lobbying for diversification of OOC games and Ivy League participation in the playoffs.)

The players, coaches, and fans all agree. I, personally, would be happy with an 11th game and an earlier start to the season. One thing at a time.

Now that the Ivies are starting to lose good players through the Portal (like Harvard’s WR Wimberly transferring to Delaware), the pressure for change will ratchet up.
Harvard 2022: Couldn’t win at home, couldn’t lose on the road. Meh.
Wimberly is impressive! Hope he’s 100% healthyAmen, bulldog!

What prevents Cornell from scheduling games at Week 1? The Ivy League isn't kicking them out.
Georgetown: "We play where we do not compete, and compete where we do not play."
Presumably, Cornell's president is against it and would fire the AD if that happens.
The only public source that ever acknowledged an Ivy president as being in favor of changing the status quo was Buddy Teevens saying that then-President Kim was in favor of expanding the schedule and playoffs. Unfortunately, Kim is no longer at Dartmouth...
Now, if you're asking what's preventing a school from scheduling an extra game where the entire administration is on Board, there are probably ways to punish a school short of kicking them out of the league. For example, IIRC, the PL expressed its unhappiness with Fordham for unilaterally implementing scholarships by making them ineligible for the PL title for two years.

If the Ivy League ever did kick someone out, Cornell or Penn would be the first to go.
As a Midwesterner I'm interested to hear why that would be.

I like it especially the playoff talk
IMO, he is correct.
