My Quick Takes on the NBCSN Ivy League Schedule:


THE GOOD



-Thank goodness Columbia made it on the schedule this year and thank goodness no other Ivy team was completely excluded like CU was in 2012.

-The Brown-Harvard game in week 2 getting televised is a BIG deal for fans. Yes, the game was going to be available online. But this very crucial game so early in the season usually gets overlooked and now there’s less chance of that.

-Love them or hate them, the Penn-Harvard game is essential viewing just about every year. It’s a good bet to televise it and I commend NBCSN for keeping it on the schedule.

-The fact that the first game on the NBCSN schedule is a week one game is great; no waiting for content! And for Columbia fans, this will be a chance to scout two Lion opponents right off the bat.



THE BAD

-Six games total is okay, but only four Ivy vs. Ivy games seems a bit thin.

-Dartmouth is a legit contender this season, and I think the Big Green game against Penn early in the season is a better choice than the match against Cornell later in the year

I don't dispute that Dartmouth-Penn should have a bigger impact on the title than Dartmouth-Cornell. But then which Cornell game do you put on the air instead?

Are they playing Lehigh?

For Cornell, I'd broadcast the 10/5 game at home against Colgate.
