Ivy League
The Ivy League is an American collegiate athletic conference comprising eight private research universities in the Northeastern United States. The term ''Ivy League'' is typically used beyond the sports context to refer to the eight schools as a group of elite colleges with connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism. Its members are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. While the term was in use as early as 1933, it became official only after the formation of the athletic conference in 1954. All of the "Ivies" except Cornell were founded during the colonial period; they thus account for seven of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution. The other two colonial colleges, Rutgers University and the College of William & Mary, became public institutions. Ivy League schools are v ...

Columbia–Cornell Football Rivalry
The Cornell–Columbia football rivalry is the American college football rivalry between the Cornell Big Red and Columbia Lions, the two Ivy League teams in New York State. In 2010, the game was named the Empire State Bowl, and the teams began competing for the Empire Cup. Since 2018, it has been the final game on each team's schedule. The Empire State Bowl served to replace the (Liberty Cup) that was played between Fordham University and Columbia University that ended in 2015 when Columbia ended the series after losing 6 years straight. This lessor local rivalry was started in 1890 and parallels the Cornell-Colgate local rivalry in upstate NY. While Cornell and Columbia are both in the Ivy League, Colgate and Fordham are in The Patriot League so all four schools will periodically schedule games against one another.
