Cornell banned frat parties for the remainder of the year. Could this help hockey attendance?

I think many if not most hockey players take summer classes. It's a combination of having a lighter load during the semester and having be option to graduate early if they can go pro. It's mostly the former, but in the case of a 3rd/4th round pick, also the latter. Both Castagna and Stanley could have come back for a fourth year, but presumably the Senators told Stanley at least a year ago that they wanted him out after his junior season, so he planned accordingly.

Apparently the Avs have just granted him permission to speak with ASU (i.e. his hiring is not imminent)? Seems like every time I see something about this story, it  contradicts previous reporting.

Quote from: The Rancor on October 12, 2026, 01:39:31 PMSo they were taking summer intensives for the past few years to prepare to graduate early as a result of going pro?

I believe it is common practice for athletes to take classes over the summer. I think Stanley and Castagna finished up their degrees this past summer after going pro. Castagna was quoted saying he planned to return for his senior year before he was traded to the Flames.

Quote from: The Rancor on October 12, 2026, 01:27:24 PMI'm sure it was mentioned before, but reading that Stanley and Castagna both graduated in 3 years, is impressive and also a reason they both went pro a season early. (perhaps they finished some classes online or during the summer, but impressive none the less)

You have the causation backwards. They graduated in three years (by taking classes over the summer) because they were going pro early.

Not much to write home about for our recruits so far in this junior hockey season...the standouts are Dec, Emerton, and Bach, but nobody else is jumping off the page.

Quote from: Local Motion on October 10, 2026, 10:01:37 PMIf Cornell athletics treated football like we do ice hockey and lacrosse we would have a much better team.   

I think you fundamentally misunderstand how these programs are run. There is no favoritism from the AD towards hockey and lacrosse. Rather, anything these programs have beyond the bare minimum comes from donors. And what these programs do have, in terms of facilities, money for coaches' salaries, etc. is below par for their competition.

The story of this team will be told against the rest of our league schedule. If we go 5-2, it will be our first time doing that well in-conference since 2000. Keep your expectations suitably low.

We have not even gone 4-3 since 2005.

Quote from: underskill on October 09, 2026, 11:39:52 AMIt does have a bearing on how the investigation was handled and the need for letting the process play out. We should have learned that from the Duke and UVA cases.

We should let the process play out. But just because Jane Doe consented to a threesome with two guys doesn't mean she consented to sex with a host of other guys.

And at the time she was evidently supportive of the two guys, she hadn't realized yet they had summoned the rest of their frat into the bedroom.

Quote from: underskill on October 09, 2026, 10:15:43 AMSomehow I don't think a drug fueled threesome equates to resisting nazis.

Trostky is just LARPing again. This obviously has no relation to resisting Nazis.

With that being said, if your point is that the victim changed her tune, well, I don't think that has much bearing on whether she was sexually assaulted. She was not aware of the men inviting their entire frat house into the bedroom, and even beyond that there is the question of her consent under the influence of drugs which the frat gave to her.

Quote from: Trotsky on October 07, 2026, 08:04:12 PMWithdraw from school.  That's a protest.  Say one thousand students withdraw in protest.  That will hurt.

If you want any institution to do something, you must either hurt it or have a credible threat of hurt.  Without Malcolm, Martin can't accomplish doodlysquat.

Why would someone ruin their own life by dropping out of school? And then do what? Sit at home all day?

I thought they were trying to stop the wholesale rape of women.  Silly me.

You've lost the plot if you think this is a realistic thing for a person to do or would accomplish anything other than 30 minutes of attention.

One person doing it would accomplish nothing, but a mass movement could.  Just like one person not going to work is nothing compared to an organized strike.  The more important question is what would the demands be?  Would they be both well-defined and doable?

There are tens of thousands of qualified kids who'd take their place at Cornell in a heartbeat.

Remind me not to be your Jewish neighbor in 1943 Warsaw.  You've told me everything I need to know.

It's not going to accomplish anything, so why stick your neck out?  Just keep your head down.  Maybe you'll come out of this with your property.  Hey.  Maybe you'll even pick up something from that estate sale.

It's the smart thing to do.

You're LARPing again. Nobody is actually going to do any of this because it's guaranteed to fail, counterproductive, and would ruin the person's own life. You haven't even established your anger towards Cornell isn't completely misplaced. This has absolutely nothing to do with "1943 Warsaw," which I would know about because "your Jewish neighbor" was my own family.

There are tens of thousands of qualified kids who'd take their place at Cornell in a heartbeat. Cornell is one of the best learning institutions in the world that students worked incredibly hard to get into and/or had incredibly rich parents. Nobody's going to throw away this opportunity because of something that happened two years ago, that also happens on every other college campus (and broader society), and that the Cornell administration arguably didn't even mishandle.

They could transfer, but just bailing now doesn't accomplish anything. It's not like they'd get their tuition money back.

Hell, Jane Doe didn't even get her tuition refunded.

Transfer where? There's sexual assault at every school, probably quite a bit more at most of them.
