Quote from: stereax on September 30, 2025, 01:29:30 PMYet another thought - could we put the old ELynah logo at the top, where it says ELynah Forum?

Yes, this template is just a placeholder until I can make one. Or modify this one or something, but I'm going to need some time for that.

Request that first template you make is a dark mode, so we have at least one option for that.

This is the right way to start the 2025-26 season, with a big hit.

It's only 40 days and counting until the Univerzitní Hokej Czechia scrimmage.

Quote from: BearLoverShockingly, zero recruits are in the BCHL. In past years it has felt like around half of our recruits were in the BCHL.

I was reading an article earlier today but I forgot to save the link so I can't find it at the moment. However, it was talking about changes to the Canadian leagues and it had some quotes from the head of the bchl.

He said that in Prior seasons something like 25% of all D1 NCAA players had come through the bchl and that the ivy League school rosters were 48% from BCHL iirc.

Quote from: stereaxWe got a new video coach too apparently.

More than that, actually.  https://cornellbigred.com/news/2025/7/7/mens-hockey-robinson-coaching-staff-release.aspx

Also a goaltending coach.  Played at Michigan Tech, then in 012, Robinson began a six-year professional career in the American Hockey League (AHL), the ECHL, as well as in Hungary and Norway.

Robinson found success in his first professional season, posting a 27-8-4 record in 39 games with a 2.57 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage with the ECHL's Idaho Steelheads during the 2012-13 season.

He also had an impressive 2015-16 season, finishing with a 28-2-1 record, a 1.88 goals-against average, and a .931 save percentage with the ECHL's Missouri Mavericks. His 28 wins tied for the second-highest total in the league, while his goals-against average and save percentage ranked third and fourth, respectively.

He'll be an ok hire if he can get Koepple up to those number, right?

Quote from: adamwone thing that might happen, is NHL teams will be less likely to take NCAA-bound players in the later rounds.

Absolutely, was just thinking that this hurts the chances of DiGiulian and Cournoyer getting drafted (but I guess helps us). Does anyone know if players drafted under the old rules are going to be immediately subject to the new ones or will there be grandfathering in? This is relevant for some of our draftees like Fegaras, Devlin, Walsh and Fisher who are already 21 with multiple years of
NCAA eligibility remaining.

Seems like it would be a complete disaster for existing players to be grandfathered in. Imagine a 23-y/o draft pick whose rights are suddenly expired.

I must be missing something.  What's the downside to free agency vs. being locked to the team that drafted you?   If you get drafted by Carolina (to pick a team at random), their exclusivity expires and you become a free agent,  how's that hurt you?

If Carolina really really wants to not lose you, they might well be motivated to overpay you to sign before you are a free agent, I'll grant that point. But nothing prevents Carolina from signing you a year later and if you're any good at that point a year later you may well have multiple teams interested and will then actually have a choice in what the best fit is, plus the competitive bidding that might be involved.

The only guys I see it hurting would be players who were drafted but as the rights near expiration they have underperformed significantly versus expectation. It seems plausible that some of those underperformers would make a little more money short-term because a team didn't want to have completely wasted draft pick then at player might receive trying to hook up as a free agent given that they had underperformed.

Someone please fill in the banks for me...

Quote from: BearLoverDoes anybody here understand how NIL or revenue sharing gets taxed?

its compensation.   why wouldnt it be taxed like any other ordinary income?

Story talks about Maryland having double our lax budget.

Quote from: Jeff Hopkins '82I like it.  Common opponent games against the NCHC are always a good thing.

Isn't that irrelevant now with the implementation of NPI?

Here's another twist on the CHL recruitment saga.

Re: CHL players moving to the NCAA,

Quotecoaches are finding out that a lot of them will not be academically eligible to play college hockey.

It's not that the CHL players are bad students.

The primary issue is that many have not taken the required 16 NCAA-approved core classes, including 10 in the first seven semesters of high school.

When these players signed in the CHL, they thought they were giving up their college eligibility and didn't bother working toward NCAA academic requirements anymore.

Foxborough stats are interesting.   Syracuse effect in 2008 and 2009?

Not the article I was looking for, but if you really want to understand the issues, this was posted by the University of Oregon general counsel and is a legal analysis of the issues and slim options.

Quotevs. the rest of Ivy

This is the operative word.  Right now we are the smartest kid in the Upper Class Twit of the Year contest.  I'd love it if within my grandchild's lifetime we were measuring ourselves against someone other than Special Olympians.

If you're in the same conversation as Dartmouth re: academic integrity, you're doing something very very wrong.

There are other comparisons available, I just didn't try them.   You should see how we stack up against the world and not just ivy

Quote from: TrotskyNever change, Colgate.

(I had no idea about CC.  Fuck them.)

A more detailed (and prettier) treatment.

A far, far more detailed (less pretty) analysis of Cornell.  (tldr: we suck, but not compared to the other Ivies.)

The scatter plot and trending charts are most interesting.  I would have expected us (and the Ivies in general) to have become less scumbag-ridden in the last 40 years but nope -- flatlining all the way.  Tutoring and privilege in high school still replicates class. Whodathunk?

Fun fact: the top 4 universities for "Median student income at age 34" are pharmacy schools. MIT is 5th.

You really hate rich people huh? Just because someone is wealthy doesn't mean they're the scum of the earth

Rich people are the same as everybody else.  Which is why the top 1% should make up 1% of the class, and the top 10% should make up 10%.

Otherwise it really is a scam to keep the failsons in the dough, like all the proles think.  Cuz I know these folks and wealth and intelligence sure as shit aint correlated.

I want Cornell to be the exception it claims to be.  That would be truly worthy of pride.

LOL, I was thinking right before I got to Trotskys reply that it's not the rich he hates, but the undeserving spawn.

Trotsky, go.read the upshot report you quoted and pull.up Cornell and hit the compare to Ivies option.  You'll find we are top or second ranked iirc on all the significant upward mobility stats vs. the rest of Ivy (like percent of students moving from bottom 20% of income scale when entering, to top 20% of scale when measuring down the road at some point.)

Quote from: upprdeckthey would have to remove all the Canadian kids wouldnt they to pay NIL like that?

Not necessarily.  Was reading an article that talked about workarounds.  If the Canadian kids get a different visa than the standard student visa was one way.   Another was getting the nil for services rendered in Canada.  And the third was an example where you sold your nil rights to a company-and since that company controlled how your value was exploited, and you no longer did, you were safe that way too.

Yeah couldn't a student visa just be a work visa?  What happens with grad students who get stipends to teach?

I'll have to look for the article I read and see if I can find a link.

Another avenue was the visa type that Melania got.  The exceptional talent visa or whatever it's called. I'd assume that's the one that NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL etc would get if they aren't US citizens.

Quote from: dbilmesSchafer gave his "Last Lecture" before a packed auditorium. Reading the story, I wondered why they didn't hold it in Bailey Hall or another larger venue. Kudos to Jane McNally for another excellent story.

Did they record this so the video is available somewhere?
