Message: [QUOTE="maple, post: 4570791, member: 7970"] I’m not arguing that. The Ivy League is saying their brand value is affected by offering athletic scholarships. If other prestigious schools on par with Ivy League schools offer athletic scholarships and it doesn’t ruin their prestige, then how exactly can the Ives claim they are somehow super special? My point is that the Ivies would have to prove that only [I]their[/I] prestige, [I]specifically[/I], would be affected by offering athletic scholarships, and other schools on their level of academic prestige, are not. I don’t think other prestigious schools like Vanderbilt or Stanford (for example) would appreciate the idea that they are lesser because they offer athletic scholarships. [/QUOTE]
