Coolbreeze, the CIC was made up of 12 universities. The addition of a 13th, regardless of how strong or weak, is not going to alter the image of the league. You still have globally recognized academic powerhouses such as Chicago, Michigan, Northwestern and Wisconsin (all ranked among the top 25 research universities in the World), as well as Engineering elites such as Purdue and UIUC.
