THE GLOVE: Spoiled Ivy
By Dave Glovsky | February 28, 2008Wikipedia's entry on the Ivy League notes, "The term has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions and a reputation for social elitism." The term became official in 1954 when the eight members of the Ivy League finally committed to a league to govern virtually all of their members' sports (exceptions such as skiing remain). As on the mark as Wikipedia's definition is to overall life in the Ancient Eight, it remains even more accurate when it comes to sports. The NCAA has never been accused of being an adaptable body, particularly in their refusal to ever adopt a Division I football playoff and to change rules to respond to variations in playing and competing conditions over time.
