I don't know where I heard this but if these elite schools are really that good, why haven't we commercialized them and made them even more accessible? ... Food

  Increasing admission means they need more professors. Assuming an elite university has the best professors around, any addition ones are going to be of lesser quality. Now the school is putting out worse students because their professors aren't as good as they used to be. Their quality of research drops because the students and professors suck and their reputation as an elite school goes away. Additionally, if you open the admissions more, you will effectively get students with lower grades. The more easy it is to get into a school, the less people think of it. You are catering to the lowest denominator.

    An Ivy league education owes very little to professors. Professors are hired for research skills, not undergraduate teaching. Teaching is famously poor, except in the small minority of research assistantship cases.
