Ivy League looking to move Fall sports to Spring - 4 weeks ago

Ivy League eyes seven-game spring football season in lieu of fall sports. "The conference on Wednesday released a statement that a decision on fall sports will be made in a week, but indications are they will not be held in the fall and a seven-game football season of conference-only games will be played in the spring, multiple sources told The Post. Ivy League presidents met on Tuesday a

Re: Cornell's men's basketball recruits - 5 weeks ago

scoop85 Not that I really know anything, but I think it's a solid Ivy caliber recruiting class. Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Penn seem to be recruiting at a higher level than we are, but I think Earl is bringing in good enough players for us to be reasonably competitive. Just need to bring in more front court size in future classes.

Re: Program cancellations (not cornell yet afaik) - 6 weeks ago

D3 school Bowdoin College cancels Falls sports but leaves open the playing of those sports after January 1 in the Winter/Spring semester. Due to limits on campus attendance, sports in fall semester have been canceled with "opportunity for the winter, spring, and possibly fall varsity athletes to participate and compete in some form after January 1." There will be no elimination of

Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 3 months ago

upprdeck first Time I have seen actual mention so of the spots in the public. I know they were no releasing that info for a long time. with the money hurt the school has now will future money go there or to helping the college survive. I believe it won't change where the money supporting athletics and this facility specifically is raised for.

Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 3 months ago

CAS On the lax town hall, Andy reiterated that $18.5 million of the $25 million total cost (including a $2MM maintenance endowment) had been raised for the indoor practice facility. He said the project has President Pollack’s full support & was confident it would be built. Thanks for the update.

mike1960 Ken711 It's official now. I don't see the word "interim" in this announcement. It looks like he's the guy. You missed this part..."for the 2021 season".

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2020 - 3 months ago

Interesting no article on Milliman leaving yet, but they did remove his name from the coaches page.

Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 4 months ago

rss77 As per Andy's announcement Darmouth's facility is only 75 yards long. Cornell's will contain a full football field and it will also be able to hold regular season men's and women's lacrosse games. Nice,

Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 4 months ago

CAS Andy said, on a recent football podcast with Dave Archer, that $18.5MM has been raised for the indoor practice facility (about 75% of total cost). Would be used by football, lacrosse, club teams. & intramurals. Get out your checkbooks. Would be a large, free standing building. And a game changer. Looks like they have a great start with the construction funding. It's supposed to be a

NCAA Grants Extra Year of Eligibility to Spring Sports Athletes. Details still being worked out but student-athletes who lost their seasons have a chance to get them back. The NCAA’s Council Coordination Committee has agreed to grant relief for the use of a season of competition for student-athletes who have participated in spring sports. Committee will also discuss issues for winter sp

Re: Coronavirus sports impact - All Spring sports cancelled - 4 months ago

Well that about puts the finishing touch on all college sports. The NCAA released the following statement on Thursday afternoon: Today, NCAA President Mark Emmert and the Board of Governors canceled the Division I men’s and women’s 2020 basketball tournaments, as well as all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships. This decision is based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, ou

Coronavirus sports impact - All Spring sports cancelled - 4 months ago

The Ivy League women’s and men’s conference tournaments scheduled to start this Saturday in Cambridge, Massachusetts, have been canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic, the league announced. As a result, the league’s regular-season champions – Princeton’s women’s team (26-1) and Yale’s men’s team (23-7) – are automatic qualifiers to the NCAA tournaments. The NCAA's March Madness tour

Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 5 months ago

upprdeck would anything on game farm be any further than the walk for PSU from downtown to the football stadium? 5-10 min walk but vastly easier parking up there. SU half the people park and ride a bus into games. This is not like Uconn with the stadium being 1/2 hr from campus. I think that location will be close enough with the added advantage as you indicated of easier parking access

Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 5 months ago

dag14 It has been a while since I sat in on athletics advisory council meetings and similar events but I recall that the long-term master plan for campus has new athletics facilities moving away from central campus. This is controversial but the expansion of academic buildings makes it harder to accommodate both kinds of activities there. That is one reason why Gates Hall looms over Hoy Field -

Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 5 months ago

upprdeck the big issue is that once they start creating space for people to watch the exit costs for those people adds costs. just adding space for a few rows of people means the building has to be 10-20 ft wider I agree. I don't see seating for fans as very likely at all. In all the facilities I've seen, there's maybe some standing space along the sidelines, but very little. The primary pu

Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 5 months ago

upprdeck just dont expect anything in less than 2-3 yrs unless some major change happens or a lot more money shows up I'm sure that's true on timing. I'm just happy that it's finally in motion, I can wait a few years. The benefits for coaches on selling the recruits a new practice facility shouldn't be underestimated as well.

Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 5 months ago

billhoward Questions one might ask about the rumored-to-be-real indoor practice field: * Full size field that is 130 yards long (football plus end zones plus 5 yards)? Wide enough for lacrosse (60 yards) or soccer (supposed to be 70-80 per FIFA)? (Football is 53-1/3 yards wide) * High enough to allow an actual game for November soccer and February lacrosse and ball doesn't hit the roof? * Ro

Re: Indoor Practice Facility - 5 months ago

Jeff Hopkins '82 Swampy Ken711 I heard Cornell has received approval to begin design work on a permanent indoor practice facility, with approximately 50% of the project cost already raised through gifts and fundraising. No other details on site location. Woo boo! No offense to Ken711, but I'll wait for an official announcement before my banana starts dancing. No offense taken.

Re: Cornell Football 2019 - 8 months ago

Jim Hyla Didn't watch the game, haven't in years. But if you're dominating the game, why not kick for the tie and go for the win later? Was there another reason to try and win with a 2 point conversion? It seems to me that the percentage to win that way isn't worth it. Cornell had the ability to move the ball on Penn, so the decision to go for two rather than force OT made little sense. The fa
