PRINCETON, N.J. - The Ivy League Office has announced an agreement with VERSUS, the fastest growing sports cable network in the country, to televise at least three football games for the 2010 and 2011 seasons, culminating each year with the Harvard-Yale game – one of the most storied rivalries in sports.

Ivy League Football games on VERSUS in 2010 are scheduled for three consecutive weeks, beginning with Penn at Princeton on Saturday, November 6, at 3 p.m. ET, followed by Brown at Dartmouth on Saturday, November 13, at Noon and then the 127th edition of “The Game”, Yale at Harvard, on Saturday, November 20, at Noon. The three-game slate will mark the third consecutive year Ivy League football will air on VERSUS as the network has televised nine Ivy matchups over the last two seasons.

“This is great exposure for the Ivy League and our member institutions and allows us to celebrate and share our rich football traditions with our fans and alumni across the nation and around the world,” said Ivy League Executive Director Robin Harris. “VERSUS is a great television partner and we are thrilled to continue our relationship with them.”

“We are excited to extend our partnership with the Ivy League for the next two seasons and we look forward to the opportunity to once again present several of the League’s marquee matchups to a national audience,” said Jeffrey Goldberg, Vice President of Programming for VERSUS.
