Whatever the criteria, these threads always talk about blue bloods improperly. That's a status that was earned long ago that you can't lose or gain no matter what you do.

I don't know why we're talking about football programs like plantation owners. If you want to go that route, the only true blue bloods are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, and Michigan. Alabama took about 50 years before they joined the national title club. shite LSU had a recognized NC before Alabama. So in your context, Alabama is still new money and always will be since true blue bloods will always be blue bloods and no one else can ever join the club.

You just constructed a straw-man out of what you wanted in order to tear it down. However, the criteria you just ripped up was the criteria you just established for the purpose of ripping it (e.g. 50 years, inclusion of Ivies to define said status, exclusion of Bama plus your own specified time frame, and so on are all things you came up with (not me) to set your own criteria).
