==Fordham & the Ivy League==
Fordham University sports, though not part of the Ivy League, has nevertheless been credited with inspiring the term by comparison. The first usage of "Ivy" in reference to a group of colleges is from sportswriter Stanley Woodward (1895–1965). In an article that appeared in the ''New York Tribune'' on October 14, 1933, Woodward, referencing football, wrote
William Morris writes that Stanley Woodward actually took the term from fellow ''New York Tribune'' sportswriter Caswell Adams.〔Morris, William and Mary. ''Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins'', HarperCollins, 1988.〕 Morris writes that during the 1930s, the Fordham University football team was running roughshod over all its opponents. One day in the sports room at the ''Tribune'', the merits of Fordham's football team was being compared to Princeton and Columbia. Adams remarked disparagingly of the latter two, saying they were "only ''Ivy League."'' Woodward, the sports editor of the ''Tribune'', picked up the term and printed it the next day.
