I live in CT and with our game being this past Thursday I decided to drive up and watch the Yale-Cornell game at the Yale Bowl.  My question is, they were kicking off from the 40.  At first I thought there was a penalty where they pushed it forward to the 40 yard line, but every kick was from there.  Anyone have any idea?  Is this an Ivy League thing?

Living in New Hamp I have seen my fair share of Ivy ball. I love watching that league when it's cold out! Yes, the Ivy League moved KO to the 40. They started this last year. Go Dartmouth!

IVY league is participating in an NCAA experiment this year with kickoffs from the 40.

I didn't know that ...

My first ever football game was at the Yale Bowl. UConn at Yale, late 70's.

Didn't the Giants play in the Yale Bowl for a couple of years while Yankee Stadium was getting refurbished?

Correct! They actually played 500 ball that year
