Re: What happened to PWR this year? - 4 weeks ago
upprdeck maybe,, I thought they said 5, From adamw's update this morning: adamw (at CHN) Because five NCHC teams will make the NCAA Tournament, the Committee can, according its manual, allow those two teams to meet. But it has never done so before when five teams from the same conference made it. It has only done so once, when six WCHA teams made the field in 2008.by kingpin248 - Hockey
Re: New athletic director Nicki Moore - 7 weeks ago
Chris '03 billhoward Chris '03 Nothing did more to make Moore look good than two decades of Andy Noel. Unfounded and uncalled for. Presumes that Cornell sports suffered more under the previous AD than in years previous.

Re: NIL - 2 months ago
BearLover Trotsky I had no idea the Dartmouth basketball team was going before the NLRB. If Dartmouth basketball players demand to be paid, the end result isn’t them getting paid, it’s Dartmouth cutting their basketball program. What am I missing? According to adamw, nothing at all: It is not outside the realm of possibility that the Ivy League decides, eventually, to discontinue NCAA D-I varsitby kingpin248 - John Spencer Is Dead
Re: Cornell football coach - 10-years, .290 - 5 months ago
RichH tycho Trotsky I'd like to think he was offered a position with the university. He couldn't cut it as the HC but as someone said above he bleeds Carnellian and white, and that's worth something to me. +2. Time for a change, but no personal vendetta from me. Best to him and his folks. And I thought the tone of the official announcement was spot on in acknowledging and respecting that. Weby kingpin248 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell football coach - 5 months ago
billhoward With the season ended, the most likely outcome is for David Archer to step down as head football coach or be removed. Given his two-decade career with Cornell (including as a player), he might find a second life in athletics or Cornell administration. The decision will be easier – less hard – to make this year: * Cornell football lost 3 more games than the best-under-Archer .500by kingpin248 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 5 months ago
jmeaneyjr Okay, thankfully it is over. Simply put, Archer should be gone tonight. Get serious about it - stop the charade... The thought is in the right place, but the timing is off. Ideally, Nicki Moore would've met Archer on the field as the teams departed and handed him the pink slip right then and there, as the Arizona State brass did to Herm Edwards early last season. 29-71 overall, 19-5by kingpin248 - Other Sports

The combination of NCAA rules and Ivy League rules prohibits Stanford from joining the conference. The NCAA Division I manual. On page 398 (411 of the PDF), Bylaw 20.10.3.2 specifies minimums of financial aid that Division I institutions must award, both in relative terms (percentage of maximum allowable aid awards) and absolute terms (dollar figures).

Re: 2022 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament Thread of DESTINY - 1 year ago
Swampy BearLover The coaching staff did an unfathomably good job. I don’t understand how this was even possible after the last two years. That said, the transfer portal (in conjunction with the blanket fifth year of eligibility) is more garbage that we are going to have to contend with going forward.

Re: French Rage on Jeopardy! - 7 years ago
Last week, I first saw the handle "French Rage" on another forum, and it rang faintly familiar. When Tuesday's game came around, I'd confirmed the connection, and was of course rooting for FR. Even though he had a lock at the end of Double, could he have gotten a more appropriate Final clue? Alas, when he stepped up to defend a few minutes later, he ran into an absolute buzzsaw.

Trotsky Can Northern Arizona follow suit, or are D-3s locked out (except for grandfathered programs)?
