Many language experts believe that the term Ivy League first appeared in the media. In the nineteen-thirties, a sports reporter called the schools in the grouping, the Ivy League. The group also had an unofficial name -- The Ancient Eight. Now both names are used. However, the NCAA(National Collegiate Athletic Association 全国大学体育协会) officially uses the term Ivy League.;
Some people say the term is linked to the ivy plant. And ivy does cover some of the grounds and buildings at the schools.
Other people say the term dates back to when only four of the schools were part of the sports group. The number four was written in roman numerals, the letters I and V. ;
;All eight universities place in the top sixteen of the U.S. News World Report 2015 university rankings, including the top four schools and six of the top eleven.
U.S. News has named a member of the Ivy League as the best national university in each of the past fifteen years ending with the 2015 rankings: Princeton eight times, Harvard twice and the two schools tied for first five times.;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
