I give credit to Colgate for asking. Can you imagine the effect on Colgate University the academic institution if the Ivies had accepted their request to join our conference? It would have been transformational.

Unbelievably, Dr Pepper has passed Pepsi as the second most popular soft drink in the United States. Brand names that we take as fixed somewhere on the food chain do in fact move up and down, sometimes dramatically.

Could you imagine a Colgate or a Bucknell or a Johns Hopkins after half a century as an Ivy League university?

You never know unless you ask!

I can only imagine how much schools like Lehigh, Bucknell, Holy Cross, Georgetown, etc. would be kicking themselves if the Ivy had said "yes" to Colgate...
