Fantasy sports enthusiasts, who are used to obsessing over player stats, may be surprised to find that prices aren't tied to specific performance criteria - touchdowns, home runs, rebounds.

...small class size, world-class professors and an endowment larger than some nations' GDPs were the only criteria for ranking colleges, Harvard might always come out ahead. (Guess who tops the annual U.S. News and World Report list this year?)
