Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1385363, member: 628"] You're point has always been an interesting one to me. While the elite athletic institutions of the south, midwest and west were mostly large, public universities, in the northeast they were largely small, private schools. A huge historical reason why we currently have no northeast-based conference like other regions of the country enjoy is because most of those northeast schools de-emphasized sports. Imagine if many of the Ivies and other northeastern private schools that were once had top-flight athletics decided to follow the path of, say, Stanford, or Duke, or Vanderbilt, or Northwestern? This sure would be an interesting league in 2015: Syracuse Boston College Boston University Pitt Harvard Yale Dartmouth Penn Cornell Columbia Brown Princeton Holy Cross Colgate [/QUOTE]
