Too little too late?

and why only for this year's seniors?  What about juniors, sophs and frosh who have lost a year.  Not doing it for them just gives them an incentive to transfer.

I'd be curious to know how many athletes at Ivies are not enrolled for the spring semester to slow their graduation timeline. From what I've heard, it seems to be a not insignificant number.

It's so fucking stupid it could only come from the Ivy brain trust.

It might not have saved hockey but it sure would have been nice for it to at least have been an option.

The Ivies are a Veblen good.  The focus is always to maintain the discriminators that guard its status niche.  So I guess it makes perfect marketing sense to allow an exception only after it makes no practical difference.
