#40.
To kill time during the offseason, ESPN is ranking the overall "prestige" of 298 different college basketball programs since 1984-85, when the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams. While I personally don't think a single losing season should have the same negative point value as a ban from the NCAA tournament, it is still an interesting diversion. Princeton is #40 using ESPN's formula.
Penn shows up six slots higher as #34.
No other Ivy League school scored better than #225.

Sometimes, you have to do it yourself.
