[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Ivy League is a weak sports conference and nothing more. It’s not 1950. There are lots of schools that are their academic equivalent and more in 2026, particularly for undergrad. Plus, given the costs - $100,000 per year - there are gazillions of top MC and UMC students making different choices even when they get into one of Ivies. Especially for top state schools like UVA, Michigan, Berkeley, Georgia Tech and so on.[/quote] Think of it like this. The Ivy League is an agreement not to let sports dominate the culture and the budget and the priorities of the school as much as happens at some other schools. It's not an agreement to meet certain academic standards, or to be a "good school" by some external criteria, or an attempt to be good at sports. If one of the schools was mismanaged and became way worse in every way, it would still be an Ivy as long as it's a participating member of the conference.[/quote]
