Quote from: DrewUSHR states Christian and Richter may have been disciplined with a one year suspension for cheating......eligible again next year. Hmmmm.

O the cheers that could come out of that one!

Why cheat when everyone gets an A?

Marinaro got "A"s??? You're thinking of Dryden, right?...:-D

Didn't Ted Kennedy sit out a year at Harvard for "personal reasons" or is that just urban legend?

Fact: When Teddy returned to campus years later to address the Harvard community, in order to feel at home, he wrote notes for the speech on his shirt cuffs.

As I read the rules and the NCAA lets you have 5 years to use 4 years of eligibility but the Ivy's say 4 with possible exceptions.  An injury that causes you to miss a full season is often granted as an exception (John Glynn on our lax team) but cheating will not be a persuasive reason.  If Christian can not play hockey as a senior (next year not this year) it would probably kill any dreams of pro hockey.  So what does he give up hockey or the Harvard degree?  Richter will face the same decision his senior year.  This year he can play Junior A and play next year at Harvard as a junior.

By the way unless I totally misunderstand all this Troy Davenport should be in this same situation because of taking a year off (not for academics) to play another year of Juniors. Did he ask for and receive an exception?

Someone on USCHO was saying that Christian is sitting out due to post-concussion syndrome, not cheating.

He probably just can't remember the cheating.

I believe the NCAA's clock (once started) runs whether one's in or out of school. I don't believe the Ivy's clock counts if one's out of school. That would help explain Davenport's situation -- Harvard's Bozoian is under the same deal.

Richter is too old to play junior.

Unfortunately, Harvard will probably be fine.

As long as there's a Goldman Sachs.

Pretty confident that Dryden earned his...not so with Marinaro.
