<p>Yes, the Patriot League. Just look at what schools the Ivys use to make up non-conference games. In most every case, it's a Patriot League School. Harvard, for example has three non-conference games....against Lehigh, Lafayette, and Holy Cross (all Patriot League). Yale has three non-conference games as well... two against Patriot League oppenents (Lehigh and Holy Cross), and one against San Diego (Pioneer League).</p>
<p>It's clear that the Ivy-Patriot connection is strong, and if there was a merger, that's what it would be.</p>
