[quote=Anonymous]According to Wikipedia: 
“ The first known instance of the term Ivy League appeared in The Christian Science Monitor on February 7, 1935.[7][53][54] Several sportswriters and other journalists used the term shortly later to refer to the older colleges, those along the northeastern seaboard of the United States, chiefly the nine institutions with origins dating from the colonial era, together with the United States Military Academy (West Point), the United States Naval Academy, and a few others. These schools were known for their long-standing traditions in intercollegiate athletics, often being the first schools to participate in such activities. At this time, however, none of these institutions made efforts to form an athletic league.” From an athletic competition standpoint, the USMA and USNA would make sense. Like the Ivy’s they have good athletes who are not at a level that they have pro aspirations, and the geography is perfect. Doubt that this would ever happen, though.[/quote]
