[quote=Anonymous]These debates are so silly -- IVY league trumps MIT, Cal Tech and Stanford?  Seriously?  MIT and Cal Tech are different schools and the best at what they do, not for everyone but no school is.  The idea that Stanford falls below the prestige of an IVy is absurd but why would anyone even say that or care?  So weird.  Chicago?  Outstanding school, every bit as good as every Ivy, again not for everyone, but to claim otherwise, and usually by people who have no connection to the Ivies is so bizarre.  And one of the myths of the Ivy from the Post, and well documented, is that the undergraduate school does not matter that much for life outcomes, a fact that has been well documented in a number of studies.  As to why elite academic schools want sports, ever been to an Ivy football game?  Kids love it, alters the nature of the school, and they do put out some impressive teams.  And many students prefer Stanford to the Ivies because it  competes at high level sports.  But again these debates about whether MIT etc is as good as an Ivy, so bizarre and silly.    [/quote]
