> more importantly, can fund top class research that costs ALOT of money.

That's important if you're at the college to do research; but many people attend college to get instruction. Top class research says nothing about top class instruction.

The University of Kansas is an AAU school and has an acceptance rate of 92%. Most R1s are big state schools who admit almost everyone who applies. You do not need to go to an Ivy League schools to get top notch research instruction.
