Princeton is not a disaster. They are not having a good season, but hardly a disaster. Dartmouth and Georgetown have always been weak programs. Drexel - fair point. Marist, Siena and the like aren't middle tier they are the throw ins at the end. Ivies can't go as early as some, but they don't recruit late either. I also noticed you didn't pick on Yale, Brown, Harvard as disasters because they aren't.

The only programs that have gone full early in recent years are UNC, UVA, Hop and MD. Of those 4 you could only argue MD has been a top NCAA program in the past 5 years.
