[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Years ago, the ND student government sent letters to Northwestern and the University of Chicago asking to form a Midwest Ivy League. The NU and UC student bodies had the tact to not respond, but it gives you a sense for where Notre Dame sits on the hierarchy and how they perceive (and want to perceive) themselves.[/quote] DP— I can’t speak to the veracity of this, but this was a well-known story in my circle of ND alums back in my day (early 2000s). The overture was to create an academic Midwest Ivy League equivalent, not an athletic one, if I recall correctly.[/quote] The whole thing is laughable. My guess is that it had something to do with ND's decision not to join the Big 10. I know the faculty supported joining because it would get access to the Big 10's academic consortium which would help with research and they were disappointed with the decision. It may have been an offshoot of that. Much to do about nothing.[/quote]
