This is just plain silly. The Ivy League is an athletic conference. Berkeley, UCLA, Stanford, and USC are all part of the Pac-10. There is absolutely no way that they would form an athletic association with Cal Tech, Occidental, etc.

Unfortunately, a lot of people use the term “Ivy League” as if it meant “a collection of very good schools,” something that happens to be true but is not implicit in the definition.
