Subject: Private school national title Author: Ivy Inquisitor [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:31:21 05/14/24 Tue In reply to: Son of Eli 's message, "Ivy-Patriot Bowl" on 18:27:21 05/14/24 Tue As I said before this game can be billed as “private school national championship “. This game could be included in “Bowl Season”just as the HBCU Celebration Bowl. Luker and Son of Eli stated having influential alumni Robert Kraft and ESPN President and Cornell alumni James Pitaro will be respected experts. Jack Ford and Washington Commanders owner Wharton’s Josh Harris may also be powerful voices. All except for Josh Harris played Ivy football. Being a part of “Bowl Season” campaign will give the “birth place of modern football “ a potential return to relevance. At the very least it will be a reminder that the Harvard-Yale isn’t the Ivy League’s only football game. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I don't think the PL will forego the FCS opportunity for a meaningless bowl games when many of the schools play each other anyway.

However, it’ll be an instant improvement especially if it’s scheduled as a stand alone event. Ghost, yes there several private schools outside of the Patriot and Ivy. As I stated before this game can be formed after the Celebration Bowl. HBCU institutions NC A&T and Hampton are in conferences outside of the HBCU’s MEAC and SWAC. NEC, CAA, SoCon and Pioneer League have private schools should they be made eligible like the former Lambert Trophy? Maybe the Patriot League may not be interested. Perhaps the Pioneer would be interested this would lead to a national reach. If not the top team not in the 1AA playoffs would work. This is the brainstorming phase. Anything that leads to the end of seven decades of self-inflicted probation will be an improvement.
