In response to CM
While I am sure you are right that Harvard wants to play, it certainly behooves them not to. There is actually a question as to whether Harvard has enough guys to play even without COVID. They were potentially down to 7 healthy players before all of this stuff. Which is crazy coming from a 17 player roster. They already had no big men, and if they have lost Ledlum, they don’t even have their best player who can play like a big man. If not for COVID, they might have to find JV players to field a team right now. My guess is Princeton would not have agreed to the different date if there was any reason to believe Harvard was messing around.
The healthy teams would benefit from playing now — Princeton, Yale, and Brown. Interestingly, after Harvard, Penn and Cornell are the next most banged up. But both played and won last week.
