Big Ten: Ivy League-lite academically?

I let this slide when you initially wrote it, but you really shouldn’t go around accusing people of poor reading comprehension. “Physician, heal thyself.” You should read more carefully - I’ve not said diddly squat about undergraduate education in this entire thread.

You have ranked the colleges by research expenditures and bragged about the number of B1G!!! colleges in your Top 25, and you have stated “… some are better at it than others …” in relation to these numbers. So backpedal all you want, but the way you present the numbers and the way you refuse to consider any sort of normalization to college size (however it might be defined) contains the argument that Cal-Davis is “… better at it …” than Princeton. How is that not a “claim of superiority”?
