    That seems lowish. Do you have COA? That should bump up the price.

    Looking on eBay, some of those jerseys are in crappy shape.

      Don't know, actually. Guess I'll have to open it up and see
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              Stanford and Harvard are in the top ten. Are they even taking cost of tuition into account?

                Without reading the methodology I would be willing to bet that they are.

                  If you look at the list, BYU is the cheapest by far: tithing subsidies at work.

                    I wasn't trying to infer that BYU isn't the best college value. Clearly it deserved to be #1. I'm just wondering about those other ones that will leave the graduating students potentially owning over $100K for their education.

                      Where does it state that? I bet most Princeton grads (#2) finish with less debt than the national average.

                        I only mentioned the two where I actually have an idea of tuition costs, Stanford and Harvard. I have no idea how much Princeton costs.

                          Probably similar to Stanford and Harvard.
                          2017
                          Stanford 45k
                          Harvard 46k
                          Princeton 43k

                          Most, if not all, ivy schools will subsidize the cost of tuition for students who demonstrate financial need. Stanford does the same. Those who don’t demonstrate financial need likely aren’t going in much debt for their education.

                            Recently listened to the Malcolm Gladwell podcasts on the gigantic endowments for elite schools. None of those schools should ever charge tuition to any but the wealthiest students.

                              Right. They are using their endowment to make high quality education affordable for anyone who can get admitted. Not sure where the cut -off is for “wealthiest”. I see BYU doing the same through their tithing-supported endowment as well (I have no idea how much tithing subsidizes student’s tuition)

                                80-90%
