Actually, the Ivy League contract with CSTV appears to be for league
sports.  From the CSTV press release on their web site:

Ivy League“CSTV: College Sports Television programming agreement
includes all 33 Ivy League sports

The full release is available at http://www.cstv.com/pr_035.htm

The Ivy League teams play in the ECAC DivI conference and the
playoffs, the the Ivy League maintains separate standings and crowns
a league champion for each season.  The league has existed since the
1933-34 season with the regular season champion winning the league.
Before the ECAC was formed a single playoff game was played if two
teams were tied for first at the end of the season.
