Conference just for admissions officers from schools in the Ivy League? Or all admissions officers?  Even still, that’s weak.

But they do put it best:
[i]“Joint Statement for Candidates on Common Ivy Admission Procedure

The Ivy League is an association of eight institutions of higher education, established in 1954 [b]primarily for the purpose of fostering amateurism in athletics. [/b]Although the Ivy League institutions are similar in many respects, each member institution makes its own independent admission decisions according to its own particular admissions policy.”[/i]

Great job arguing a point no one is disputing.  No one disputes the Ivy League was formed as a sports conference.  The point is -- and this has been repeated MANY TIMES, so this is the last time I am going to illustrate it for you -- that [b]the term "Ivy League" means something to people which as nothing to do with sports[/b];  so saying "it's just a sports conference" is incredibly trite and kinda stupid.
