One thing is clear: The World Is Changing.

The Ivy world, that is.

Dartmouth firing its most consistently successful coach (across two different stints, no less)???

Harvard recruiting two Top 5 players in the 2017 class???

Yale pushing the Ivy League to 4-3 in the last seven NCAA Round of 64 games???

Makai Mason testing the NBA Draft waters as a sophomore???

Make sense of this madness on another episode of the 14 Game Tournament Podcast.
