[quote=Anonymous]Georgetown wouldn't be interested now due to the high-end basketball issue. I honestly think they'd love an invitation to say no to (though that won't happen either). If their basketball program is still struggling in 10 years, they'd be the most logical match.

Even the service academies would likely say no at this point. Outside the power 5, they get big enough $$ through football to make a quick no easy. Especially since pure prestige matters less to them.

Everyone talks about the Ivy League like it is something amazing but I can't think of a single top 25 school that would make the move.

I'd probably say William & Mary is their best bet. It would be intriguing for a mixed D1/D3 athletic department like at Hopkins to consider upgrading facilities and step up to D1 (esp with the Ivy League's lower level football). Hopkins has very good D3 sports (their D3 swim team has half their meets against D1 programs) and solid D1 lax already. They would also be a great match academically and geographically. [/quote]
