Ivy League Will Join the FCS Playoffs

[rcade]

Starting in 2025, the Ivy League will participate in the FCS playoffs and the winner of the conference will get an automatic bid.

Football was the only sport where the Ivy League did not compete for a national championship.

The idea to join the FCS playoffs originated with a proposal from the league's student-athlete advisory committee.

The G 6 programs should have their own football playoff system just like 1AA does. Throw in the PAC ,perhaps scale back to 3 teams per conference with 2 wild cards for a total of 20 . I don't recall the number of 1AA teams involved in their playoff system but what ever the number it works.
