mathews did not receive a scholarship to play football for cornell university in ithaca, new york, part of the football championship subdivision (division i-aa), as no ivy league school gives athletic scholarships. at cornell, injuries thrust him into the role of starting quarterback at halftime of the first game of his freshman season. the quarterback job proved to be his for the rest of his collegiate career. mathews broke the school's single game passing yards record for a freshman in his first start in the ivy league opener against yale university and ended the season with 1,723 yards in the air and 7 touchdown passes, with an additional two touchdowns rushing the football. for his efforts, mathews was unanimously named the 2010 ivy league rookie of the year.

ivy champions are recognized in sixteen men's and sixteen women's sports. in some sports, ivy teams actually compete as members of another league, the ivy championship being decided by isolating the members' records in play against each other; for example, the six league members who participate in ice hockey do so as members of ecac hockey, but an ivy champion is extrapolated each year. in one sport, rowing, the ivies recognize team champions for each sex in both heavyweight and lightweight divisions. while the intercollegiate rowing association governs all four sex- and bodyweight-based divisions of rowing, the only one that is sanctioned by the ncaa is women's heavyweight. the ivy league was the last division i basketball conference to institute a conference postseason tournament; the first tournaments for men and women were held at the end of the 2016–17 season. the tournaments only award the ivy league automatic bids for the ncaa division i men's and women's basketball tournaments; the official conference championships continue to be awarded based solely on regular-season results. before the 2016–17 season, the automatic bids were based solely on regular-season record, with a one-game playoff (or series of one-game playoffs if more than two teams were tied) held to determine the automatic bid. the ivy league is one of only two division i conferences which award their official basketball championships solely on regular-season results; the other is the southeastern conference. since its inception, an ivy league school has yet to win either the men's or women's division i ncaa basketball tournament.
