That's why top schools are accepting more and more first gen students... to give them the education needed to make threads on here.

Because a lot of the good athletes are poor & they could just give them financial aid for “need” instead of athletic scholarships. Or they could hook them up with big NIL deals.

Financial aid doesn’t vary if you are an athlete.

And the Ivy League doesn’t allow ‘pay for play’ NIL.

Schools would take a big hit to their athletic programs if they joined the Ivy League.

Then add Georgetown, JHU, U Chicago, & MIT.

Send Dartmouth & Brown to the minor league = NESCAC so they can play with Amherst, Williams, and the other kids at their level.

Done. See how easy this would be.

P.S. Be forewarned, however, that Northwestern is going to be pissed about this.

To clarify: The money would have to go to Northwestern University--not the Big Ten Conference as the Big Ten has too much money already.

You would like to see the Wolverines destroy the Ivies in football? Doesn't seem like a good matchup.

Ah yes, the intellectual powerhouses of Cornell, Dartmouth, and Brown. A school like Duke surely couldn’t hold a candle to them
