While i am shocked to see this, I am curious if these cuts had anything to do with the recent college admissions scandal.

It would be perfect timing I suppose.

Ivy to postpone fall sports, possibly having them in spring. NO winter sports until after Jan 1.

Wow.....this is a pretty big decision there...

Wow. I didn't see that coming. They're a big school.

Bingo.

The connections you get at Ivy schools are what sets those graduates apart. The academics are unquestionably more rigorous, but it's not what you know - it's who you know.

i agree with this with one edit. it's not who you know, it's who knows you.

Someone said they had 38 sports before this. It is pretty major to drop 11 of them. I wonder how many other schools will make some big cuts.

Stanford drops 11 sports, including wrestling.

If the 60 game MLB season actually happens I predict a Dodgers vs Yankees World Series, with Los Angeles winning it. Go Blue!

I can get behind that. Grandpa is a Dodgers fan. I asked him why, being that he's probably never been to New York, and he said "My uncle was a Yankees fan and it was annoying."

Ivy League to announce Fall plans tomorrow-rumors are that football will do a silo schedule in Fall or Spring:
