What makes you think that the powers that be would rather NOT be associated with Williams and Amherst than St. John's and Nebraska?

This is a lost opportunity for the Ivy League. Division 1 sports can and should be a community relations and marketing tool. All eight schools are underwater in terms of perception from the general public, including in their home towns (maybe Dartmouth and Princeton excepted). That they still play the "membership in an exclusive club" game with regard to how they relate to a populist endeavor like spectator sports is very telling.
