In response to mrjames
If Penn (and, possibly, Brown, Columbia, Cornell and Dartmouth) is losing recruiting to Harvard, Princeton and Yale, do you believe that these students have decided to choose a school with a better chance of being in the NCAA Tournament and/or becoming a pro - even if that athlete is going to have to wait his turn to play or be part of a larger rotation of highly rated teammates?
If competing against non-IL schools, does the cost of attendance, even with improved financial aid, make it too difficult for many qualified lower income athletes to attend an IL school? (According to the NYT Access Index info above, an average low/middle income Penn student coming from a family making $30-$75K a year will have to pay $40,000 for his/her undergraduate schooling).
Or, do you believe that these qualified students are going to non-IL for a different set of reason(s)?
Thanks for the comments
