And I respectfully disagree. As another poster mentioned in another thread like this, merely because the Ivy League is a grouping of eight prestigious schools (on varying levels) does not mean that there is anything implicitly prestigious about the Ivy League. The Ivy League has not changed; what has is the layman’s definition of the Ivy League… and I don’t think I’m alone in questioning the authority of the layman to define what has not changed in the last century.

If want to propose to create some ineffectual academic alliance of West Coast schools, then by all means try, but don’t expect people to take you seriously when you’re trying to create some “Ivy replica.”
