Can someone explain to me how it matters what athletic conference you are in with your academics?

Anyone know what athletic conf Cal Tech, Washington (stl), Emory, Case Western, ... are in? Seems pretty silly on many levels to even attempt to relate academics to how good your football team is. It's a cute argument schools put forth to rationalise why they are running a pro sports team on university grounds.

Have those sides now come to a consensus following their BOT meeting?
