IVY LEAGUE BASKETBALL JOB RANKINGS
The Field of 68 will unveil a series through January in which we’ll rank the jobs in every league from top to bottom – and will do it by anonymously polling veteran coaches (head coaches and assistants) in each conference.
There are no specific parameters. Each coach was able to utilize their own specific parameters to determine their list from top to bottom.
However, while recruiting base and facilities were a major factor when I did a similar exercise in 2018, now it’s obviously financial resources (NIL) that are paramount.
Here’s the daily order thus far:
- Jan. 5: ACC
- Jan. 6: NEC
- Jan. 7: MAC
- Jan. 8: Big East
- Jan. 9: America East
- Jan. 12: A-10
- Jan 13: ASUN
- Jan 14: Big South
- Jan 15: Big 12
- Jan 16: Big Sky
- Jan 19: American
- Jan 20: Missouri Valley
IVY LEAGUE JOB RANKINGS:
1. Princeton – 100 (6)
2. Yale – 94 (4)
3. Harvard – 90 (2)
4. Penn – 74 (2)
5. Columbia – 56
6. Cornell – 40
7. Brown – 34
8. Dartmouth – 16
WHY IS PRINCETON NO. 1?
“Money, financial aid and admissions make it the best job in the league. I don’t think Harvard or Yale can get in who Princeton can, and Princeton also has more money in athletics.”
“History of success, academic prestige, name brand that resonates with everyone, large endowment, nice college town and campus. Pretty good facilities. No real negative other than they can’t take transfers.”
WHY HARVARD IN TOP SPOT?
“Best brand and name recognition, best city, pro sports town, prior success and NCAA tourney appearances and donor support.”
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE PENN AT NO. 1?
“History, tradition, institutional support, ability to take transfers, The Palestra, Philly/DMV ties in recruiting, Wharton for undergraduates.”
WHY IS BROWN SO TOUGH?
“Admissions, financial aid and Dartmouth on an up tick.”
