Inevitable, but a bummer nonetheless:

Mike is always spot on with these things, and it’s also being confirmed by national folks as well.

This means no Penn sports, not until January 1st at the earliest. No Big Five basketball games against Villanova, Temple, La Salle, and St. Joe’s. Huge ramifications for out of conference scheduling and a big domino effect across the board.

The next question is whether other leagues follow suit and work off a schedule that would match the Ivies, since you’d only be able to play conference games unless everybody collectively is on the same page.

Lovely!
