...Orleans, the Ivy League represents a special case among collegiate conferences in which the rigor of academics makes an extended season too costly for the learning environment. While this is a laudable stance to take in the name of preserving the strength of academics, in practice it is blatantly unfair. The inconsistency in the fact that 40 Harvard sports teams are eligible for post-season play and only one is not speaks for itself.

However, seeing how the policies are of effectively little use to anyone their only real effect is to discriminate against men who keep regular morning or afternoon workout hours. This seems fundamentally unfair...
