[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back then also no women. Jews and non-whites excluded then very limited. Come on, OP. What’s your point that’s relevant to 2022?[/quote] I think it's that the posters in some of the other threads ragging on athletes and them getting into Ivies, when the term "Ivy league' was coined specifically because back in the 50s the IVIES DOMINATED athletic conferences. It was white male athletes, correct. Now you have a woman raging that the Ivies were always about academics and athletes shouldn't get preference, when that simply wasn't the case. The Ivies were about prominent families, boarding and private schools and future leaders, never solely about academic prowess of its student body. Read a history on Ivies. What made everyone want to attend was the prestige and network association of power. [/quote] Sure so now they still take athletes who aren’t as academically qualified as the other students. [/quote]
