So stupid dude.

Literally every other sport sponsored by the Ivy League plays a postseason. Now football joins the 1980s.

Do you think the Ivy League eschews all NCAA postseason events?

They used to play in big time bowl games, including the Rose. If anything, this reverts back to their roots.

Does Anyone Actually Like College Football More with NIL and Unlimited Portal?

Harvard and Yale have more money than God.

If Harvard would get only 1,000 of those 13,650 to each put up only $85,000, they would have $85 million and could pay an average of 1 million to each player.

Good for them. Never made sense that they participated in the basketball tournament but not football.
I seem to remember hearing a while back that the argument for not doing football had something to do with finals or something like that. Probably wrong/misremembering though because I think they still do baseball/track/etc. which also conflict.
