A school having a good qb program depends on a lot of things. I disagree with the resentment thesis. Most of the best players at the best non-Ivy qb teams could get into the Ivy League. They, who are mostly grad students anyway, just chose not to for whatever reason. Also, winning a qb game isn't like winning a race. You can't win by trying harder than your opponent. You either know the answer or you don't. You either have faster reflexes than your opponent or you don't. "I didn't get into CalTech, though I think I was pretty qualified, and now, everytime I win against CalTech I feel pretty good." jerry But are you thinking of revenge when you study, if you study? "The creation of the Ivy League was solely for athletic purposes and has since expanded its boundaries in ways that have been misleading." mbphilp I think that is significant when you talk about the Ivies being "not as dominant as one would imagine based solely on their popular academic reputation" brostrom1 Also, most of the best qb teams in the country are powered by graduate students. While the colleges of the Ivy league are all outstanding, their graduate programs are a mixed bag. If qb were played exclusively by undergraduates (and I like grad students playing!) you'd have a very different looking top ten. Individuals. Sometimes it only takes one player to make a great team. Where schools draw from. Is there a good high school circuit? Think of South Carolina.
