PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — The Ivy League announced Wednesday its football programs will compete in the FCS playoffs beginning next season.
The league said the decision to compete in the playoffs followed a year-long process initiated by its Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Mason Shipp, a senior football player at Yale who serves as the committee’s chairman, called this a monumental day and said to the future generations of Ivy League football players: “go win us some hardware!”
The 2024 season culminated with Columbia, Dartmouth and Harvard earning a share of the Ivy League title. It was Colombia football’s first Ivy League title since 1961.
