[quote=Anonymous]Army and Navy. They already have Ivy League championships https://ivyleague.com/sports/2018/7/11/GEN_0711185653.aspx The League is steeped in tradition and the ten schools have maintained strong relationships in both sports and academia, relationships that have survived Vietnam and FBS/FCS splits. Army and Navy were amongst the most prominent football teams in the 1950s - they didn’t want to give up notable dates with USC, Notre Dame, Penn State to play Brown and Dartmouth. Despite this they competed in the league regardless in a number of sports - this mostly stopped with the advent of the Patriot League, which they joined, but continues to this day (EARC for rowing). Outside of HYP, Army and Navy were the biggest deal of the remaining 7; you can see the value of being associated with the League because that perception doesn’t exist today. Regardless, MIT, Duke, Chicago, Stanford are not joining for a mixture of D3/D1, Geography, and historical reasons. [/quote]
