Or, if you like D1 sports and want to watch big time football on a Saturday afternoon, ‘Go West’.





You know, the more I travel outside of California the more I get the sense that either the upper Ivies really are stronger or NE bias is just really, really prevalent (even in the South and Midwest). Not sure which, but either way it’s an interesting indicator.



Stanford and Yale are both great schools, but athletics play a much smaller role at an Ivy League campus. Because the Ivy League colleges have no athletic scholarships, they are perceived as being “more serious.”

As BDM notes, this perception is widespread.
