Either way (I imagine that would have cost a pretty penny) it does reveal how warped the idea of ivy importance is to some people.
I would imagine that while Yale is ramping up checks per the headline of the article, that other ivies are quietly doing that too. Who’s to say there aren’t others who did this too, and just haven’t been caught? (Yet… I forget the timeline of the varsity blues scandal but it really just needs the first domino to fall, right?)
