Also I believe if you have a year of eligibility left after your fourth season and continue on for your five-year BA degree, or start grad school at Cornell, I believe you can keep playing. At the least, some Cornell athletes who complete four years but not four years of sports played in the fifth academic year on the Hill.

Ivy rules preclude you from being on a varsity team as a grad student unless you are entering no more than your 8th semester, eligible by ncaa standards or not. See Kevin Rooney '03 and the football team. He graduated early and despite sitting out a season with an injury was denied a fifth year because of his accelerated academics and grad student status (he was in his 9th semester at the outset of the football season and was no longer working towards a bachelor's degree).[/q]

Interesting. My sister's senior year, her boat placed 4th at Nationals. The stroke in the boat was doing the fasttrack 7 year BS/DVM thing. Which meant she had vet classes everyday at 8am. Which meant the boat was on the water at 6am everyday. ::coffee::  Funny part was, my sister would be getting up for practice every morning when her architect housemate would be coming home from studio.

Anyway, based on what you posted, I assume my sister's teammate was still eligible because she hadn't officially finished her BS yet?
