        <body>The little thing you wrote makes it sound like the NCAA doesn't let them play, not the schools.  Yes, they should play, and yes, you should change the wording.</body>

  <body>As SI.com&amp;#39;s Pablo Torre noted&lt;a href=&quot;http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/sioncampus/11/29/ivyleague.football/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; in his story about the Harvard Crimson,&lt;/a&gt; Ivy League football teams are not allowed to participate in post-season play. Is this fair? Do they deserve the same rights as other schools, or should they stop complaining and be grateful for their academic opportunties?</body>
