CHICAGO -- The Ivy League was once again the top NCAA Division I conference in the Ninth Annual National Collegiate Scouting Association Collegiate Power Rankings with all eight institutions ranked in the top 21 spots.
Princeton led the way for the Ivies ranked fourth followed by
Penn (6th), Harvard (7th), Yale (9th), Dartmouth (13th), Brown
(14th), Cornell (15th) and Columbia (21st).
NCSA Athletic Recruiting's Collegiate 2011 Power Rankings
assess the academic and athletics standards of all NCAA athletic
programs across the country. The Power Rankings were developed to
help prospective student athletes and their families evaluate the
particular strengths of the top colleges and universities at the
Division I, II and III levels.
In 2010, the eight Ivy schools were in an elite group of less
than six percent of colleges and universities across the nation to
make it on NCSA Athletic Recruiting's Top 100.
"The Power Rankings are an objective tool to empower student
athletes to find the right fit in a college or university, not only
for its athletics, but academics as well," says Chris
Krause, CEO and Founder of NCSA Athletic Recruiting. "Our
hope is to educate these student athletes and their parents on the
importance of evaluating schools that will provide the education
for an enriched, successful career after college, in addition to
athletic success," concluded Krause.
The Collegiate Power Rankings from NCSA Athletic
Recruiting are calculated for each Division I, II and III
college and university by averaging student-athlete graduation
rates, academic rankings provided by U.S. News & World Report,
and the strength of athletic departments as determined by the
Learfield Sports Directors' Cup.
These Power Rankings are only one example of NCSA Athletic
Recruiting's commitment to redefining collegiate recruiting.
As the leading athletic recruiting network, NCSA connects more than
35,000 college coaches with student-athletes who hope to pursue
both higher education and the chance to compete in athletics at the
college level.

division, is available at: http://www.ncsasports.org/about-ncsa/power-rankings.
