How deep in the barrel would the Ivies dig for a tourney?  Would it just be the top four, or would they two top six and with two PiGs, or completely devalue the RS by sending all eight teams?[/quote]

The ESPN article clearly assumed that it would be all eight.  I think if you want a tournament, you could kill two birds with one stone, here - make the tournament at least somewhat more respectable as a genuine metric of success by only letting the top four teams in.  This also removes the problem of Thursday games interfering with academics, which is one of the main drawbacks for the Ivy Presidents.  Top seed hosts, semifinals on Friday, consy and final on Saturday.

See?  I should be an Ivy AD!
