		Between 1977 and 1993, the draft consisted of 12 rounds, and from 1967 to 1976 there were 17 rounds per draft.

	Ivy League football gets back into the pro scene \| Feb 2, 2001
		Since the age of four, Phillips had dreamed of one day playing in the NFL, and he was enticed by Miami Coach Butch Davis's assurance that Phillips would get playing time and, after Miami was reinstated from probation, an athletic scholarship.
		(In 1975 and 1976, the NFL draft had 17 rounds; since then, it was reduced to 12, then eight, and now seven rounds.) The biggest factor in this drop-off was the Ivy League's decision to switch to Division I-AA from Division I-A in 1982.
		The Ivy players' stickiness is particularly noteworthy because seven of the nine recently drafted players were taken in the fourth round or later; six of those seven are still in the NFL.
