From wikipedia: "studied computer science at Stanford University". Stanford isn't Ivy league? Or is wikipedia wrong?

Umm in 2015/2016 Stanford's tuition was $46k while Harvard was $45k.

If it's not Ivy League why am I paying more to go there then the hallmark ivy league school?

Ivy League is a specific name for north eastern universities in a 'sports league'

I would consider stanford a top tier school... but ivy league appears to have a specific definition.

Semantics aside, I think it serves nearly the same purpose to immediately exclude 99.999999% of the population.
