Which school should be removed or added to the Ivy League?

Stanford is the only one that can be added, and possibly Choicago. The colleges in the South are simply not intellectual enough to compete even with the bottom of the Ivies.

Because a lot of the good athletes are poor & they could just give them financial aid for “need” instead of athletic scholarships. Or they could hook them up with big NIL deals.

Ah yes, the intellectual powerhouses of Cornell, Dartmouth, and Brown. A school like Duke surely couldn’t hold a candle to them

You would like to see the Wolverines destroy the Ivies in football? Doesn't seem like a good matchup.

Maybe engineer a trade with the Big Ten Conference--Cornell plus one or two billion dollars for Northwestern.

Then add Georgetown, JHU, U Chicago, & MIT.

Send Dartmouth & Brown to the minor league = NESCAC so they can play with Amherst, Williams, and the other kids at their level.

Done. See how easy this would be.

P.S. Be forewarned, however, that Northwestern is going to be pissed about this.

To clarify: The money would have to go to Northwestern University--not the Big Ten Conference as the Big Ten has too much money already.

Threads like this reveal how fundamentally middle brow this entire site is. Start with a stupid premise, often articulated by people who are barely fluent in English, and people will still play along.

Financial aid doesn’t vary if you are an athlete.

And the Ivy League doesn’t allow ‘pay for play’ NIL.

Schools would take a big hit to their athletic programs if they joined the Ivy League.

That's why top schools are accepting more and more first gen students... to give them the education needed to make threads on here.
