Within a year of this statement and having held month-long discussions about

350-548: A decision to have a placeholder for a potential team that depended upon the final result. In 1998, the Big Ten began to hold a conference tournament , leaving the Pac-10 and Ivy League the lone conferences without postseason tournaments.

The league announced in a May 2021 joint statement that "regular athletic competition" would resume "across all sports" in fall 2021. Following the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, the Ivy League Conference committed itself to uphold "diversity, equity, and inclusion," to combat racism and homophobia.

Part of the editorial read as follows: The Ivy League exists already in the minds of a good many of those connected with football, and we fail to see why the seven schools concerned should be satisfied to let it exist as a purely nebulous entity where there are so many practical benefits which would be possible under definite organized association. The seven colleges involved fall naturally together by reason of their common interests and similar general standards and by dint of their established national reputation they are in
