Interesting. The Rivals page lists schools he's shown interest in -- a very impressive list -- and says he has "Medium" interest in all of them. But Cornell's not even on the list! (Although Dartmouth is.)

The page says he had 9 offers. Since he's listed as being interested in 14 schools, 7 of which I consider "high majors," this is quite impressive. Still, he's listed as only 2 stars (out of 5) -- probably because of his size: 5'9", 185.

One of the recruiting sites had him as a 3 star, but I agree his size likely lowered his stock a bit from the ratings folks. Nonetheless he's the first player I can recall turning down a Michigan offer to come to Cornell.

Former Cornell rb Chris Walker transferred to Eastern Illinois. He battled injuries here and could have come back a 5th medical year, but decided on a change of schools.

Jarad Jarman, Journal Gazette & Times-Courier
The Panthers were picked eighth in the OVC’s official preseason poll, as voted by head coaches and sports information directors. The league’s media poll, released last week, predicted the same finish.

CAS
In Andy’s 20 years as AD, Cornell football has had 2 winning seasons. In the 11 years prior to Andy taking over as AD, Cornell football had 6 winning seasons. Discuss amongst yourselves

Football Record Since 1999: 2 winning seasons | Overall winning percentage 35.6% | Ivy League winning percentage 34.2% | Last 10 seasons overall winning percentage 28% | Last 10 seasons Ivy League winning percentage 25.7% – RESULTS MATTER!"

CAS
So in Andy’s 20-year tenure as AD, a winning football team has turned into a perennial doormat, with uncompetitive facilities, insufficient funding, & alienated supporters who may no longer financially support the program.

CAS
Is it time yet for another 6-year extension?

Of course, the EIU website also says Walker played four years with the Bears, so who knows about its accuracy?

was a first-team All-Patriot League selection as a sophomore ranking 42nd nationally in yards per carry

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell was picked to finish seventh in the 2019 Ivy League Football Preseason Media Poll it was announced today. The Big Red will kick off the new campaign with its sights set on having a much bigger impact on the league standings when it visits Marist on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 12 p.m.

Yale was picked to win the league for the second straight year, with defending champion Princeton sitting third and receiving four first-place votes, second only to the Bulldogs' nine. Dartmouth, chosen second overall, received two first-place votes and Harvard and Columbia claimed one each. Two media members from each of the eight schools and one national media member comprised the poll.

"2019 Ivy League Football Preseason Poll (First-Place Votes)

1. Yale (9) 119
2. Dartmouth (2) 111
3. Princeton (4) 107

5. Penn 67

Gonna be any football discussion in the Cornell football thread? There are a lot of positives for 2019. Here's three.

1. We have a veteran coach familiar with the Cornell system. Who's record is 15–45 overall.
2. The prediction for Cornell this year has the Big Red all the way up to seventh. And haven't finished above 4th since 2004.
3. Nobody has been paid under the table to play at Cornell. And neither will the football program receive any more funding from the Cornell Football Alumni Association.

CAS
I believe CFA’s issue is with the inadequate level of support the university provides for the football program. This is less about institutional control of a booster group & more about providing the necessary funding, facilities, & staff required for a competitive Ivy program. As the CFA states in their letter, after two decades of abysmal results, “Results matter”. The CFA is much closer to the situation than I am. And they vote no confidence in the stewardship of our football program

CAS
Jim, why do you think that the CFA board, which is comprised of some of Cornell football’s greatest players & generous supporters, took this action?

So they have shuffled the staff around and named the Offense Coordinator also as the QB coach, even though he never played the position in college. Then they promote a staff member to TE coach who never played football in college....got it. A powerhouse football coaching staff, what could possibly go wrong.

Is that something the CFA itself announced or is it the university's characterization?

CAS
The CFA has indicated that they negotiated with the university but were unable to reach an agreement. It’s apparent they have zero confidence that the football program will receive the institutional support needed to be competitive. Perhaps this action by football's greatest supporters will prompt the Cornell administration & board to examine the program & do what’s necessary to enable us to compete.

It appears to me that is what the new CFA is doing - withholding cash. They will still sponsor tailgates & host a golf outing, but won’t finance a football program that’s won but 25% of its Ivy games in the last decade

Which is fine, but my understanding is there needs to be institutional control to make sure the Cornell boosters don't do something (by omission or commission) that f-cks the university. They have to submit to monitoring. The acceptable path of protest is not to boost without monitoring, it is to withhold boosting.

As a barely concealed tax-free financial scam, Cornell University always chooses to maximize the bottom line. They maintain the appearance of academic primacy because that supports the elite brand which allows them to demand exorbitant fees for their service of credentialing the next generation of Upper Class Twits of the Year. They have athletic programs in the first place because the emotional attachment of pathetic glory days Olds enables them to grab millions in extra donations. And let's not even start on real estate.

The only way to get Cornell to do something is to either dangle or withhold cash. Everything else is a means to that end for them.

the boosters don't bear the burden of compliance. if they aren't willing to play by the school's rules, they can't play at all. if you think that's unfair, try being a college athlete.

CAS
Isn’t it the CFA’s point that Cornell football needs an intervention. Continuing to fund the program without a plan by the administration to improve it just perpetuates the problem. Again, as the CFA states, results matter. Winning only 25% of Ivy games in the last decade calls for dramatic change.

An intervention is exactly what happened with Columbia's football program using a football consultant outside their athletic administration after years and years of fielding a losing teams.

Cornell may be killing two, make that three, birds with one stone.
* Cornell bears the burden if a supporting group does something outside the boundaries of what the NCAA allows, so it clamps down.
* Cornell doesn't like other people telling it what to do.
* Under the guise of compliance, Cornell can muzzle a group calling out the unfortunate truth of Cornell's football difficulties.
Be curious to see if there's a Cornell football supporters [image of Big Red Bear with a gag in its mouth] tent at the Marist game. You have made plans to attend?

A recurring thought: How bad must Brown be to be ranked last, sorry, eighth, in the league forecast? Did the kids who got in with half-million-dollar donations decide they really wanted to play football?

“[We’re] really [reinventing] the way we’re doing things: We’re running a different scheme on offense, we’re on a different defense. The theme is going to be like a hybrid warfare approach, right? So conventional methods mixed with unconventional methods … attacking thought processes and beliefs, while you’re also attacking the weaknesses where [opponents] line up.”

“I felt like my approach was ‘Hey, I’m going to recruit the best players, I’m gonna develop them, I’m gonna run really sound schemes, and we’re gonna beat people. And looking back on it, I don’t think I gave us a good enough of a chance, schematically. And so trying to really open up the bag of tricks, if you will, and be really creative with what we’re doing.”

“I don’t think I had enough schematic answers for us late in the season. Right, we finished in 2017, 0-3, 2018 finished 0-4. I think once we put too much stuff on film, I didn’t give our team enough of a chance. I didn’t have a good curveball … off my fastball.”
