Well if I'm not mistaken, Ivy League is at its core a sports conference....the other connotations of "Ivy League" have just developed over the years.
Penn State was independent for many years and then joined the Big 10 conference (making it the Big 11) - this only happened in the last 10 years. So you CAN join a conference. Ivy League, however, has taken on something beyond that and Alfred knows it...and you can bet that if they say "we're Ivy League" they know the first thought in people's minds will be "prestigious school for really smart people" not "sports conference."
