<p>Sorry if this is a really stupid question to some of you, but I’ve tried google searching this and I haven’t figured it out. What makes a college an Ivy league college? How does it differ from non-Ivys?</p>
<p>Here is from wiki</p>
<p>[Ivy</a> League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League]Ivy”>Ivy League - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>The Ivy League is an athletic conference, just like the Big 10 or ACC. There are 8 members of the Ivy League, and they do not change over time. It’s not like a university must reach a certain standard and stay there to be labled an Ivy. The Ivy League have been the same since the league was formed back in the mid 1950s. Like all athletic leagues, the member schools are relatively close to each other geographically speaking. </p>
