Frantic Yale fugitive not fit, sadly, for such a place (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
ivy league
'sadly for such a place' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'frantic yale fugitive not fit' is the wordplay.
'frantic' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'yale'+'fugitive'='yalefugitive'
'yalefugitive' with 'fit' taken out is 'yaleugive'.
'yaleugive' is an anagram of 'IVY LEAGUE'.
(Other definitions for ivy league that I've seen before include "Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale" , "Group of eight prestigious USA universities" , "Harvard, Yale etc" , "Group of prominent US universities" , "Brown's one of eight in this" .)
