Hey 'Gate, Here is more complete info on that story about where the Ivy League got it's name from Coswell Adams. Adams was asked on a RADIO PROGRAM if he felt Columbia, Harvard, Yale and Princeton could compete with powers such as Fordham, Nortre Dame and Pittsburg ( then, national powers). His response was "Oh, those schools are IV league, not on the same level of play". He said the Letters I V which sounded like "Ivy". As there were three divisions, Adams was saying they were a notch below.

That is what happened. Funny how things change!
