Last week, we reported that the Ivy League was going to make an announcement regarding the playing of athletic competitions in the fall semester in the wake of COVID-19. It appears the July 8th announcement is merely an announcement of the inevitable. Bruce Feldman and Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic reported Monday that several coaches in the Ivy League anticipate the postponement of all fall sports, including football, to the spring semester.
If the Ivy League postpones its season, it could have ramifications across collegiate athletics. The Patriot League, a frequent football scheduling partner with the Ivy League, will certainly adjust its plans in the wake of the Ivy League postponing its season, which could have a potential effect on the FCS Playoffs.
