In response to bradley
Yale and Brown were certainly hurt most by the pandemic. Harvard would have been hard-pressed to take advantage of home court in 20-21, and Yale would have likely been in the slot of an Ohio, UCSB or North Texas with a competitive 5-12 or 4-13 game.
At the same time, while there's no doubting the Ivy League could have held a season if it wanted to, it simply wouldn't have weathered the storm that other leagues chose to and would have shut its season down very soon after teams had to go into pause. Even if you disagree with the league's decision-making process, of which I've been pretty critical of late, I think we can all agree that, realistically, the league wouldn't have accepted a bunch of pauses to get to the finish line.
So, everyone should agree that it was possible. Everyone should also agree that it's not what the Ivy League is and that's okay.
