Depends on what you really want your for your future . If your goal in life is to play pro ball I'd go play in the ACC. Reason is simple measure yourself against the best if you realize your goal is unobtainable transfer to an Ivy or if your that superior a student go to a grad program at an Ivy .
If you have no professional aspirations you go Ivy 100% .
Ps . The kids who go to an Ivy or Stanford that have an opportunity to play professional sports normally do so and outearn the majority of their clasmates .
Another factor is sports can get you through the door at an Ivy--but if your family is upper middle class or above they may be required to pay your tuition--unless you qualify for an academic ship.
Pete Carril, when he coached Princeton, was known to complain that most of the kids who could really play hoops at a high level couldn't meet Princeton's minimum academic admission standards and most of the players who could meet those standards could not qualify for financial aid.

Had a cousin whose daughter had full rides at major swimming programs that were fine academic institutions who got into an Ivy and went . They discounted their 60k bill by 10k .
Last I heard schools like Harvard , Yale Stanford waive tuition for famlies making less than 100k.
-Akok went from Syracuse lock, to Uconn lock, to, well, if we called anyone the leader at this point, maybe, maybe Uconn is the leader but we really dont know but we'll guess.
Akok
Breakdown: Akok's lone remaining official visit to take is Pittsburgh and he's knocking that out over the next few days. A decision might not follow immediately, however Akok should be ready to decide relatively soon. There were rumors that he committed to UConn after his visit there but he shot them down. The Huskies do, however, appear to be in pretty good shape and would be our pick if we had to call any school the leader.

-Akok adds Capel and Xavier Johnson on twitter
Then this nugget comes out
Then there's Akok Akok (No. 39), who took his final official visit this week. He has been to Providence, Georgetown, Connecticut and Syracuse in the past month, and Akok went to Pittsburgh this week. Connecticut and Pittsburgh are receiving the most buzz for Akok, who is expected to decide soon.
Akok Akok prediction: Pittsburgh or UConn
Others in the mix: Georgetown, Syracuse, Providence

If Pitt could land Akok it would be tremendous news. Got my fingers (and toes) crossed on this one.
I've never wanted Akok this bad.
This....coupled with a Pitt win tomorrow and my weekend is complete .
I'm sure landing that big Akok would be a fantasy come true for you.
I get the sense that this may not be entirely true...
And then you say something like this and totally redeem yourself
IF.
"Big if" It would happens it would be likely a Center commit would follow. Wahab most likely. Or Cockburn (less likely).

I’ve never been around a group that’s wanted Akok so much.
I can tell you this. Pitt needs Akok more than UConn
I don’t know. UConn hasn’t had that big Akok since El-Amin.
If we can somehow get LiMelo and LiAngelo eligible, our recruiting class can have Akok and 2 Balls
OK Chris. Time to tell the kiddies that recess is over. Get the kids back in class.
Yea everyone should just relax. All we want is Akok to come and ball out.
This could really be the start of erecting a great team. Would hate to be premature there though.
Yea. The way Capel has thrust himself into recruiting I’d hate for him to come up empty and just limp out of this recruiting period.
UConn is a formidable foe. They’re clearly stiff competition. But maybe they’ll commit a boner.
Call me a child cause I’ve been chuckling through the entire thread.
Again ... call me a child but I even laughed out loud after this.
Hopefully Dick can call out Akok hammers it home as Akok leads us to the promised land.
