That's kind of disappointing. I'm not sure that's true. How hard are the enrollment caps at the Ivies? Michigan and Stanford separate the athletes from the students, for requirements.
Nope. There's always a lot of whining and moaning about athletes taking the place of more "deserving" applicants.
This isn't even a conversation at any Big Ten or SEC school, which would gladly sacrifice 50 chemistry majors for one season of Baker Mayfield or Saquon Barkley.

For sure, but I think they're mutually exclusive, though I think most SEC schools may as well have open admission.
edsg25: I have no idea what you're talking about with this NYC stuff. I may have said it helps to clarify NYC vs the rest of NYS, I don't remember. Obviously if I did, it made more of an impression on you than on me.
Agree very much with Maintainschaos about Northwestern. Hell, when I lived in Champaign, we looked forward to the NU game as one that UI might actually win! I can't find what percent of students are in-state, but a lot of the grad students are not state students, especially in the PhD programs.
ok. but did you also realize that I agreed with him, too?
Columbus and Madison, of course, are way too big to be "college towns". Ann Arbor, though a college town for sure, is big enough that it has no "town feeling" and that is enhanced by it being the fringe part of metro Detroit.
So in the Big Ten, the answer has to be: Iowa City! No place can compare with it: big enough (75,000) to be noteworthy place, small enough (and removed from other cities) that it can best join town and university and give the kind of spirit you see there.
