The Ivy Leagues are important in their own minds.

I had an uncle who went through Yale all the way and taught at Michigan State for over 30 years.

He said the only difference between the Ivy’s and a decent state school was the degree of difficulty getting in.

Something I've long suspected. Also, it's funny that colleges judge themselves by the quality of their incoming product, i.e., freshman SAT scores, not their outgoing product.
