Pete, there has always been bad blood between Penn and Brown. When the Ivy League was first officially organized as a sporting conference in the fifties, the President of Brown said that he would never play in a league that included Penn. The President of Harvard said that Brown would then have to forget about Harvard on its schedule, which changed the mind of the Brownnose. However, the President of Brown had a point. Penn was playing a tough national schedule with major league recruiting. The rest of the Ivies were much as they are today. So, Penn had to de-emphasize. And, in typical Penn fashion, they overdid it and was the league patsy for quite a while.
