We added it about 5-6 years ago.

While this does not immediately impact football, what it says is that Associate Members are again welcome in the conference. Clearly, then, a new football member need not be an all-sports participant.

I think women's rowing is intercollegiate. Not sure if Men's , yet, though it might. Break out the Tiddlywinks!

Hey, my dad went to MIT! :x

;)

Actually, MIT was responsible for some great pranks at Harvard football games over the years, like the balloon that grew out of the 50-yard-line at the '82 (?) Yale game.
