All I remember was the change. Instead of a package of grant money, student loans and work-study jobs, they just made it all into a grant. At about that time there were questions being raised about the actual value if a very expensive Ivy degree to less well-prepared and less-academically-oriented students. I just put two and two together in my own mind.

The Ivy League Academic Index doesn't permit the school to bring total rockheads in. And there are specific numbers that are allowed in each of the "tiers" of the Index. But it does allow them to bring in quite average students. What they don't tell these parents is that their progeny will not be getting as much out of the experience as their better prepared and academically-oriented classmates.

I have always thought there was more dishonesty in recruiting at the DIII and Ivy League schools. In DI you know what you are getting. But there's a fair amount of "bait and switch"  in the Ivy League and with schools like Williams and Amherst.
