If Harvard defeats Yale by a 6-3 margin or worse, it's all over for Princeton...

If Barnes can work out an agreement to accept the Ivies without written compliance, both the Ivy institutional autonomy will remain intact, and the NCAA standards will be upheld. The NCAA's final decision will become apparent in early March when the Ivy basketball champion is scheduled to play in the Eastern regional playoffs...
