Or just go to the other thread which was basically created for stuff just like this.

Bottom line: Six of the T20 were NESCACs and more would have made it under the wire had the service academies (which neither derive nor confer any benefit from being included in the poll) been excluded.

Yeah, but it’s not as simple as a strict public versus private split. A few dozen years ago, New College-Florida would have been a credible contender for T20 status. And few would argue that SUNY- Genesco and Mary Washington in Virginia would not derive- as well as confer a great deal of benefit from a USNews advancement. I just don’t see the point including any college with a direct route to and wholly funded by the US Treasury for survival
