re: Student turns down entire Ivy League for University of Alabama

Not trying to defend Alabama at all, because after all it is a pretty ridiculous decision that most don't agree with, including myself, but the delusion behind the whole ivy league thing is unreal.
Are your chances of succeeding much greater if you graduate from an ivy league school? Obvious answer is yes. But y'all are acting as if it's some kind of guarantee. There is no written contract guaranteeing you these connections and a job making 6 figures out of right out of college.
Maybe if you are in an elite fraternity or club then your chances skyrocket, but the average student there is still going to have to work their arse off in the real world.

Of course but they don't consider that a bad thing like you obviously do. All Ivy League grads work their arse off in the real world, it's why they get in and it's why most because captains of industry. Sure a lot have family but they also are brilliant people that do whatever it takes. You need to in order to become a real success in this world.
