built 264 days ago
The Ivy League has been competing against each other in sports as long as there have been sports in college. In 1852, the 1st event was held between Yale's and Harvard's boating teams. Since then, they've included every sport from baseball to water polo with fencing, football, lacrosse, rowing, and squash in between, just to name some. They were officially named the Ivy League in 1954, though they had been unofficially called by that name long before.
