Ivy League Looks to Move Football to Spring...What now?

[THUNDER]

The Ivy League refuses to participate in any postseason games.

Actually it's not that they " refuse" but rather they are not eligible.

How is the Ivy league ineligible for the FCS playoffs?

Can Ivy League schools go to bowl games?
Ivy League schools are in the FCS, the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA). Therefore they are not eligible to play in the FBS (Football Bowls Subdivision, formerly Division I-A) bowls. ... Ivy League schools play only 10 regular season games each year.

You just keep doubling down on the stupid instead of admitting you were wrong.

Would be kind of weird the one conference that cares more about academics than sports would try to move their season the spring.

 

[jayfan]

Ivy League coaches expect 2020 college football season to be moved to spring 2021, per report

2 things:

1. Do any of the other leagues follow suit?

Yes, other leagues will likely follow. The Ivy was also the first league to cancel its conference basketball tournament back in March, days before shit got real.

In the face of losing a year's worth of football revenue, schools will find delaying the season for a few months to be a very attractive alternative.

What are you talking about?

First you said that they "probably" wouldn't go to a bowl.

Then, you said they are ineligible for the postseason.

Then you post that ivy league is in the fcs... which everyone already knew

I wasn't aware that they COULD NOT go to Bowl games.
You said they " refuse " to play in Bowl games.

Big difference dude.

Being in the Fcs IS the reason, therefore it was relevant.

Jeeez............

Being in the FCS does not preclude a conference from going to a bowl game.

Keep digging.

Additionally, I said they refuse to play in "postseason games", not bowl games.

Semantics.

It's time for a Mark Twain quote to describe you:

" Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience."

Carry on.

When you've been thoroughly defeated on every point as you have, it's no surprise you are giving up.

-Ivy League won't (not probably not) be playing in a postseason game
-Ivy League schools ARE eligible for postseason play
-FCS conferences can play in a bowl if they so choose

You went 0/3, dipshit.

You are correct

Ivy League opts out of the postseason and it's 100% their own decision
There are FCS teams that play in bowl games, it's not even a hypothetical.

After what I heard today, you could be right. One reporter polled some P5 ADs and Head Coaches are concerned they may follow suit because many of them said their school presidents think very highly of their Ivy League brethren.

Which FCS team has participated in a bowl game? I thought an FCS team's season was over if they didn't qualify for their playoffs. No? Same for all the divisions that have playoffs.

I must be the Rip Van Winkle of college football fans and slept through this.

In addition to the Celebration Bowl, there have been rumours of the Ivy League and Patriot League champs creating a bowl game to face off as well.

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

There's also 4 Division II bowl games.

Celebration Bowl - Wikipedia

Well I'll be damned. Who'd have thunk it. Probably better attendance than 10-15 of 921,678 FBS bowls!

Do any other FCS conferences besides the MEAC and SWAC have bowl tie-ins?

 

[Deep Creek]

There's also 4 Division II bowl games.

So there really is more than 921,678 bowls!
