I completely agree our top 10,000 students compare very well with Ivy League.
But we are not Ivy League. It's a huge generational (especially East Coast) snobbery that thinks East Coast schools are better. It's embedded in politics, corporations, etc. Rice University in Houston is considered an exceptional school in Texas. It's enrollment is only 6,700 and accepts 14% of the applicants. It will never be considered an Ivy League School.
The main reason BYU won't be considered an Ivy League school is because 1) Mormon and 2) it's too cheap to attend.

I'd love to see enrollment cut. We have the talent to be an elite academic school. No need to water things down......

I'd say our top 10,000 students would compare very well to an Ivy... but once you get to our bottom quartile the pool

I wish it were different. I think the world would benefit more if we were to graduate more people into jobs that lead

the old - let's strive to be mediocre argument. At least you're willing to be candid about your quest for mediocrity...
