Both are PA boys and seem pretty happy at Penn State.  Why would they move to Oklahoma?

To listen to the wind sweeping down the plain.

To watch the waving wheat and smell it when the wind comes right behind the rain.

They will find girlfriends and sit alone and watch a hawk making lazy circles in the sky.

Compared to Penn State? Who wouldn't jump at the chance to go there?

Ivies over the years have been able to compete for at least some atheltic recruits notwithstanding a lack of athletic tuition scholarships (I guess formerly up to 9.9) because of superior financial aid grant packages that can exceed whole or partial tuition athletic scholarships from the 9.9 cap.  It can be a better deal for athletes from working and middle class families.    Financial aid > athletic aid - for a certain class of kids and many wrestle families are not big $$.  Not sure how this new settlement changes the landscape for Ivies using finanfcial need/aid to compete with the $$ from scholarship programs - probably not as effective.

My unstudied impression is that some small subset of Ivy athletic recruits come from enough family wealth that they just care about the school and not so much the price.  Some say Ivies generally love such a recruit.  Probably not unique to Ivies, although most if not all purported to apply need-blind admissions.  Not sure how prevalent this is among other competitive private schools or even public schools and too lazy to research it.
