A year inside Ivy League Football, unveiling the heart and soul of college football's oldest teams as they compete amidst a rapidly changing collegiate sports world--from an award-winning, bestselling author.

A reminder that Ivy football is the American Beauty Rose of the fall sport. That's a title enough. ―Boston Globe

The history of the Ivy League dates back to 1869 when Princeton played the first college football game against Rutgers. The Ancient Eight explores Ivy League football today. To play in the NFL, one must maintain the highest academic standards and be a great football player. The rivalries are as intense, as are the strict rules--but there is also a genuine purity n the Ivy League.

Through intimate interviews with players, coaches, and key figures, Feinstein uncovers the unique culture that defines football on the Ivy League gridiron, offering unparalleled access to the remarkable coaching staffs and student-athletes who balance their academic ambitions with their passion for the game.

On the field, inside the locker room, and around campus, The Ancient Eight reveals the phenomenal stories of the young men who play in today's Ivy League and those who coach them.
