Ivy Bowl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Epson Ivy Bowl)

The Ivy Bowl (also known as the Epson Ivy Bowl) was an international college football game played between an American, 43-man all-star team (composed of only Ivy League players) versus a team of college all-stars from Japan.[1] The first Epson Ivy Bowl occurred on January 8, 1989, and the final game occurred at the conclusion of the 1996 NCAA Division I-AA football season.[1] The United States won every match-up. The wins, because they were not between two NCAA-affiliated schools and some of the years were mixed school (all-star) teams[2][3][4][5] do not count toward official win–loss records.

Despite the fact that the College of William & Mary was not a member of the Ivy League, they were chosen to participate in 1988 and 1992 seasons' Epson Ivy Bowls.[6] Long considered a "public ivy", William & Mary was the only true non-Ivy League school to send players to Japan.
