[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Ivy League is a sports category. There are hundreds of excellent colleges and universities in the U.S. It is a giant country.[/quote] It’s clear that the Ivy League has grown in the popular imagination to be more than just a sports league. [b]It’s become a sort of designation or a shorthand for prestigious, top universities.[/b] Laypeople are rarely sure of which schools actually constitute the Ivy League, except for Harvard and Yale. Most also assume Stanford is one. I’ve met college basketball enthusiasts who thought Duke was an Ivy, and I know college football fans who assumed Northwestern was an Ivy. It’s a colloquialism that’s anchored in a slightly different reality from what most people think.[/quote] Well then they’re just ignorant.[/quote]
