    Miskatonic qualifies as Ivy League because Lovecraft says it does. He writes in one story that people from the area went either to Harvard or Miskatonic.

    No

    Miskatonic, while as old as the ivy league did not have the same luck with it's graduates, who mostly were drawn from now failing minor sea ports.

    It is more Bowdoin, Colby, or Middlebury. Old but not as famous, with the founding families deceased, but the trusts they endowed still producing operating costs.

    No. The Ivy League is a collegiate athletic conference which consists of teams from eight private colleges. Miskatonic is not one of them.
