[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I’m sorry but the Ivy League is largely just a brand today. Leftism, critical race theory, anodother PC nonsense dominate the Ivy League. Kids used to be required to have a reading knowledge of Greek, Latin, AND a modern language JUST TO GET INTO AN IVY. Standards today are a joke.[/quote]

Yes, it IS a brand, one known for excellence all over the world.  If the standards were a "joke" as you say, would most of the schools still have an admit rate of single digits?

[quote]"What does one get from attending an Ivy other than professional benefits? [/quote][/quote]

Now THAT is funny.

It’s not a real thing. “Ivy League” is just a sports conference. [/quote]

Aaaaannnndddd... it was only a matter of time before this idiot showed up.[/quote]

We’ve gone through this before and always come back to....in reality, it’s just a sports conference. People may perceive that it’s more than that but that perception is just based on manufactured hype. Not reality.

YOU have come back to it, because YOU won't listen, even though facts are presented showing that the schools do many academic things in concert which have nothing to do with their games.  Such as, they all release admissions decisions the same day.  They also meet every year to discuss admissions and share EA/ED information.  And many more things.

But much more importantly, is what the phrase "ivy league" MEANS.  It has a meaning to most of the world - a collection of some of the most elite colleges in the country.

And that won't change, no matter how many times you whine "the ivy league is just a sports conference".[/quote]
