That would be very gauche, and would net them negative PR from the overall public due to laying bare the “it’s not what you know, it’s who know” mantra for no reason. The people looking to attend these schools already know the implied value.

Sounds more like intangible value then.
You can probably establish a floor value but getting a good average/median is going to be difficult because the top end is basically unlimited dollars for yourself.

Taking a guess, a degree from a school listed should easily get a $100k salary in any big city at minimum unless you've tanked your reputation very publicly (like paying for your acceptance with bribes).

Most people who go to ivy league aren't really concerned about their safety nets though.
