In response to palestra38
Thank you for comments
Memory on all this is 40 years old. I recall the Ivy League "volunteered" to drop football into the lower echelons thanks to creative rules like mandated stadium sizes and attendance figures. That would have broken up Ivy League in any case --Yale, Harvard, Penn, and probably Princeton qualified, but the other 4 would have been thrown under the bus had the others not chosen Ivy first.
As its highest priority, The big powers wanted an influential Ivy League out of their way.
You're probably right about only 20 of the big boys making big money. Amazing the IRS hasn't declared them as actual tax liable entities.
