Correct. Schnider

At first I thought you were talking about Michael Porter Jr. He had a top 10 list, but when he and Trae Young decided to be a "package" they commingled their lists. Porter expanded his list to 17 teams and added OU.

I agree if he wants to come then OU takes him. He's 6'9" and listed as high as the #2 2016 overall recruit. Getting Porter and Young would be a dream come true.

not the entire ivy league but Harvard and yale recently did away with student loans ..

instead if a student qualifies for any need based loans the schools just give the money as a grant ...

you are correct that it is need based and they expect students to pay what their families are able to pay .... ..

that is a massive difference from being at a P5 school where you now get a full ride and full cost of admission money every semester ..

I also agree with you that an IVY name on your diploma goes a long long way

They are very generous in what they expect you to be able to afford to pay, though. Family income under $60,000 pays zero, adn up to $120,000 is very little. Over $120,000 and you're expected to pay 10% of income.

Correct, the late 90's early 2000's, it wasn't nearly as generous. However, there were still alternative means to get the tuition bill down.

This is very true for all the big time academic schools. Some even go a bit higher on income for no cost to attend school at all. However they do check all of your assets except your house and retirement account. So any savings or college savings plan go into the calculation. If you are above the minimum they have you pay a reasonable amount, The guide then said this is more than you will think is reasonable!

it didn't exist back then ... under political pressure based on their giant school endowment ..

princton was the first to do it in 2001 Harvard started in 2004 .. before that aid was in student loans .. now it is just grants .

This is correct. There was significant political pressure for them to do so as their endowments are absurdly high.
