In June 2006, Mercenary Coalition declared war on The Big Blue. A month later, Four Horsemen withdrew from The Big Blue, removing much of The Big Blue's PvP power. Subsequently, attacks by Euphoria Unleashed and others rendered the situation untenable, and N.A.G.A. Corporation and EVE University dissolved The Big Blue and withdrew from the region<ref>http://eve-history.net/wiki/index.php/Big_Blue</ref>. An interesting historical consequence is that the EVE University's teamspeak server was hosted with N.A.G.A. Corporation until late 2009. Subsequent to The Big Blue's withdrawal, BWF-ZZ developed a reputation as a cursed system, which no group could hold onto for very long.

At the time EVE University retreated from Geminate, a group of EVE University members wanted to remain in nullsec, allying with ISS, an organization which itself maintained neutrality. EVE University as a whole felt that this would nevertheless undermine its neutrality. Twenty-six EVE University members left to form a new corporation called The Graduates (~~TGRADS~~), and take over the Cassini outpost of ISS in EC-P8R.

The newly formed ~~TGRADS~~ found that the Cassini outpost was isolated from the rest of ISS. ~~TGRADS~~ was forced out of the region, and joined with EVE University in forming the 'Ivy League' alliance, which was created on 17th September 2006 with EVE University as the Executor corporation.

~~TGRADS~~ maintained POSes in NPC null sec, under the Ivy League flag. However, the difficulty and expense of maintaining these POSes, and the disparity between EVE University's primary mission and the null sec focus of ~~TGRADS~~, put strain on the relationship between the two. Subsequently TGRADS left Ivy League on 13th October 2006 to join Brutally Clever Empire (BRUCE), then an up-and-coming null sec alliance. They are currently the largest corp in The Initiative., and still recruit preferentially from EVE University.
