If Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford remove quotas for ALDC (Athletes, Legacies, wealthy Donors, Children of staff and faculty), these universities cease being elite. That's good for America. However, it is bad for the administrators of these schools, uber wealthy, the elite servant class of this uber wealthy. What happens, if McKinsey, Bain, and BCG recruits more from UC Berkeley, Rutgers University, Vanderbilt? What happens if more of future judges and justices are graduates of LSU Law, UTAustin Law, McGeorge School of Law? Basically, the elites can't congregate around three or four schools. The power gets distributed, as the kids of the elite attend many schools across the country.
