The "club", which includes the assurance of giving legacies a hard look, is largely why these Universities are desirable for non-legacy candidates. In general, but also University depending, the education itself is nothing that can't be attained at many liberal arts colleges.

Rubbing shoulders with rich kids who are average isn’t as useful as you make it out. Rich people will invest in smart kids that have the prestige of a top university with or without their own kids being connected to them.
