Why are these programs rarely (or never) competitive?

Binghamton
Brown
Cal
Cornell
Duke
Georgetown
Harvard
Vanderbilt
Virginia Tech
Yale

All have a lot to offer, why are they not strong programs?

Coaching?
Talent?
Location?
Lack of funding?
Limited help with admissions?
Facilities?

A combination of multiple factors?

All should be better. What is the problem?

The one that stands out most is Georgetown. What happened to that program?

Honestly most of the schools on that list I see no reason why they should necessarily be more competitive. Georgetown and Duke are two that should be though.

Reason: Academics.

By academic rank...
