»The BigThree is a historical term used in the United States to refer to Harvard University, Yale University, and Princeton University. The phrase BigThree originated in the 1880s, when these three colleges dominanten college football.[1] In 1906, these schools formed a sports compact that formalized a three-way football competition which began in 1878. This early agreement predated the Ivy League by exactly half a century. The rivalry remains intense today, though the three schools are no longer national football powerhouses, and schools continue to refer to their intercollegiate competitions as «Big Three» or «Harvard-Princeton-Yale» meets.«
