    Can someone ELI5 as to why this is big? I've read a lot of people saying it is, but I'm not familiar with such academic things.

    It's just a club of universities that consider themselves better than the rest, and they've invited us to join. It might enhance research collaborations or help bring in more grant money.

    The university made another big announcement today. Starting in 2020, if you're a Utah resident, never before enrolled, with a 3.2 GPA and Pell grant eligible, they'll give you four years of tuition.
