Ted, did you bother to read the content you pasted in your post? This was said in that. "chiefly the nine institutions with origins dating from the colonial era" Get it. Because of this people confuse it with other really old schools. I don't think Georgia had a college in the colonial era, but it was a state then. There are a few schools that are almost that old. I think you forget just hold the State of Georgia is. It had nothing to do with their age [otherwise Cornell might not have made the cut] nor did it have to do with the original colonies. It started out as a disparaging remark by a sports writer: "One day in the sports room at the Tribune, the merits of Fordham's football team were being compared to Princeton and Columbia. Adams remarked disparagingly of the latter two, saying they were "only Ivy League." Woodward, the sports editor of the Tribune, picked up the term and printed the next day." You need to read what I post.
