[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Ivy League is a sports category. There are hundreds of excellent colleges and universities in the U.S. It is a giant country.[/quote] It’s clear that the Ivy League has grown in the popular imagination to be more than just a sports league. It’s become a sort of designation or a shorthand for prestigious, top universities. Laypeople are rarely sure of which schools actually constitute the Ivy League, except for Harvard and Yale. Most also assume Stanford is one. I’ve met [b]college basketball enthusiasts who thought Duke was an Ivy[/b], and I know college football fans who assumed Northwestern was an Ivy. It’s a colloquialism that’s anchored in a slightly different reality from what most people think.[/quote] They cannot be much of college hoops enthusiasts if they thought this. I mean, come one.[/quote]
