How do the Ivies or the top 10 look at Track and Field as an extracurricular/ sports?
Specially if a kid is good at it with the stqnding of everything else at 90% - academics, gpa etc?

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.

Northwestern was actually considered to join the Ivy League back in the 80’s but didn’t because of geography (kind of a joke nowadays-look at the ACC). Their sports teams would do much better in the Ivys vs Big 10, but no way are they giving up Big 10 status and money now.

Northwestern is second best in Chicagoland.

Check their times. Recruiting is pretty straightforward for T&F.

Add Williams to the list.

This is such a stupid question from someone who obviously doesn't understand the history here.

Factual, that popular jesuit school Holy Cross first player Brown in 1898, Dartmouth 1903, Yale 1903 and Harvard 1904. HC has played them more than any other school and same holds for Holy Cross vs New England Ivica in baseball, Basketball Lacrosse etc.For a Catholic school to play the Wasp elite in those yesrs is amazing and testomony to HC academics.

Personally, I think it should be expanded to include some more geographic diversity. I would add UChicago, Vanderbilt, and Rice and remove Dartmouth (too remote) and Cornell (no need for 2 NY ivies).

Here it comes….the non-ivy parent with idiotic questions about a sports league…..Keep dreaming Vandy, Chicago, Rice…..you are NEVER going to be an Ivy, no matter how much these ridiculous parents want it.

Ha-spoken like a true UChicago troll. It’s ranked higher in USNWR (in top 10) and has the way better campus/neighborhood and Big 10 sports. Also can fill its classes without 100 ED rounds and isn’t in financial dire straits. Think again!

Seems Like HC is the unofficial 9th member. Go Crusaders!

This forum and UVA. If this site was based outside of DC area, wonder if UVA would get this much attention??

Northwestern is suburb.
U Chicago is not.
Both good, and for different reasons and majors.
