 The conference name is also commonly used to refer to those eight schools as a group beyond the sports context.
 The eight institutions are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, and Yale University.
 The term "Ivy League" has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism.
Conference Carolinas
Conference Carolinas, formerly known as the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference (CVAC) or the Carolinas Conference, is a collegiate athletic conference affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) primarily in Division II, and as one of the four Division I conferences for men's volleyball.
 Originally formed in 1930, the league reached its modern incarnation in 1994.

The Maroons are the intercollegiate sports teams of the University of Chicago.
 They are named after the color maroon.
 Team colors are maroon and gray, and the Phoenix is their mascot.

 The University of Chicago helped found the Big Ten Conference in 1895; although it dropped football in 1939 (as inconsistent with its academic vision), its other teams remained members until 1946.
 Football returned as a club sport in 1963, as a varsity sport in 1969, and began competing independently in Division III in 1973.
 The school was part of the Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference from 1976 to 1987, and its football team has joined the Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference's successor, the Midwest Conference, as of the 2017 season.
