The Problem with Ivy Athletics, and Reason not in Playoffs

[PTGrizzly]

So your assumption, which is false btw, that you claim is "true" because your viewpoint is different isn't snobbish? Wow you have a lot to learn. Are you sure you went to any college?

I know what an Ivy education is about. It isn't my view. It's a fact. An Ivy education is much more than connections. The academics are rigorous, competitive and generally taught by very good professors--some at the top of their professions. Being taught to think and analysis well is important. There is significant value in those things. The connections and diploma are terrific too. As I said, you don't know what you're talking about. I tried to defend you a few times in the past, but I'm starting to think that maybe Alpha's got you pegged correctly.

Yah go ahead and take your snobbish attitude somewhere else.

You act like no institution on the planet does these things...

First, you insist that the Ivies don't do this; now every institute on the planet does it. Which is it? I saw a list that says that 30 of the 100 most powerful women in the world went to the Ivies for undergraduate or graduate school. Sure, it's just the connections. It obvious you've never even been near an Ivy campus.

Now I'm no mathematician (I just went to a simple state school), but doesn't this mean that 70% of the 100 most powerful women in the world didn't go to the Ivies?

Impressive.

I see PR forgot to tell you the rules for Ivy educations are different for boys and girls:

Susan Patton, the Princeton mom who last year urged female undergrads to snag a husband before they finish college, now offers more audacious advice in a new book promising to stir debate again over her guidance to young women.

This time, in addition to telling them to search for a spouse, she encourages women to do whatever it takes to feel "socially successful" by the time they get to college — including cosmetic surgery.

During an interview Tuesday on TODAY, Patton rejected the notion that she included some of her more controversial advice in her book, “Marry Smart,” as an effort to drive up sales.

“Never. I’m not a provocative person. I’m an honest person. I don’t care so much about being politically correct. I care more about speaking the truth, authentically,” she said. “I don’t care about popular opinion. Doesn’t matter to me. Yes, I absolutely believe with all my heart that this is solid and good advice.”

Last year, Patton created a firestorm after writing an open letter to the Princeton newspaper that suggested women spend more of their time on campus finding a husband since they will never again have a deep pool of qualified potential mates.

Snag a husband in college? Not so fast, 'Princeton Mom,' parents say

Patton, the mother of two sons who graduated from Princeton and an alum herself, expounds on that advice in her book. She urges young women to invest 75 percent of their energy on finding a partner and 25 percent on professional development.

“College-age women should multitask while they’re on campus,” she said.

“Work will wait. Your fertility won’t. So yes, I’m saying, double down. Spend 75 percent of time planning your personal happiness, putting in place the things you need to ensure you reach your personal goals.”

If that means getting cosmetic work to ensure they are “as socially successful in college as possible,” Patton recommends getting it done as early as possible. "If you require major bodywork, get it done in high school,” she writes in the book.

Obviously your time spent here is cutting in on the 75% of time you should be planning your happiness, unless, of course, you are courting PR.

Yep. 30 of 100 went to one of the 8 Ivy schools. The other 70 went to one of the other 9,000 schools in America. Nothing to see here....move along.

By the way pr talks you would think everyone who didn't go to an Ivy League school would be sitting in a dark corner eating their own flesh because they're too stupid to go to the kitchen for food.

Well, despite the fact I wasn't quite Ivy League material, I can't complain about my lot in life. There's one thing I've learned in all my years...looks like University of Idaho!

I've always said, "if the resume doesn't say Stanford, MIT, or one of the Ivy League Schools, then it really doesn't matter WHAT school you went to"...

Depends upon whom you talk with and where you are at the time. In LA, Caltech, USC, Stanford, UCLA, Occidental,Cal, Davis, or the Claremont schools plus UCSD and Irvine...the Ivy League doesn't carry much weight west of the Mississippi..Like politics, education is local..

The Ivy League is considered "plan B" by most Stanford rejects.

Average SAT scores for the 75th percentile of the entering class are higher than Stanford at Harvard (60), Princeton (60), Yale (50), Columbia (30) and Dartmouth (20)--and slightly lower at Brown and Penn. Cornell doesn't seem to have Writing stats, so can't compare.
