Yes. Michigan vs. Brown in football would be a thriller.

Brown has a better fight song than Michigan

You forgot the /s …

No college or university has a better fight song than Michigan.

The whole Ivy League thing is arguably just branding.

It genuinely would be interesting, if only to highlight the vast gulf between Ivy League sports and the rest of D1.

People here are so boring it hurts. "It's a sports conference" yeah okay? People speculate on those too. You aren't contributing anything by being a major PITA.
I'd honestly love to see UChicago in the league, even though they are D3, because it's a good example of what the ivies are more known for: the liberal arts with good robust STEM programs (Chicago purposefully avoiding engineering).

They were called the Ivies 25 years before the league was formed

The term was used as early as 1933, and it became official in 1954 following the formation of the Ivy League athletic conference. It’s always been the same 8 schools and it will always be.

This forum and UVA. If this site was based outside of DC area, wonder if UVA would get this much attention??

In much the same way MIT is second best in Boston area, I'm sure

[Anonymous]

Notre Dame has by far The best fight song Michigan fight song top5 Ga Tech ramblin wreck is up there. but based on number of games played against The New England ivies no obe cones close to Holy Cross. Colgate has played a boatload of games against Cornell but HC is the all-time winner.

[Anonymous]

@Usc and West Point have good fight songs. Interesting factoid, Holy Cross is undefeated against the Georgia Bulldogs -3 wins for HC and 0 for UGA last game 1939 HC 13 -UGA 0. Only other serires that might rival that is UChicago vs Notre Dame,

Disagree. Northwestern & U Chicago are both outstanding schools full of highly intelligent, hard-working,motivated kids. No need to try one upmanship with respect to these schools.

sounds like sore grapes ... sorry your kids couldn't get in.
