There is only one "Ivy" designated branding of elite academics. Those 8 are it.

Find an appropriate branding for the other colleges.



Poor Penn. The forgotten stepchild.

70% are D1...unlike the Ivy schools that are 100% D1. I guess a teensy bit above 70% because JHU is D1 for Lacrosse...but CMU, Emory and the remaining sports at JHU are D3.

UMD College Psrk is ascending.

Take note Maryland residents. Days of it being a safety school for high stats kids ( even if not a CS major) are gone.

Indeed. Need to add the other UM schools for possible safeties - UMBC, Salisbury, etc.

Nearly all sports conferences outside the Power 5 are mediocre, although I gather you only think football and basketball matter. There are far more colleges in mediocre sports conferences than not and actually the Ivy league does fairly well in national rankings in the "unwatchable" college sports such as lacrosse, hockey, soccer, crew, etc.

+1, to a great degree "Ivy League" is just marketing at this point.
