Tierney leaving Princeton for Denver

[CowbellGuy]

To my understanding, it's the other way around, in that only lacrosse has this exception, but I'm too lazy to find out if that's true.

Transfer Rule: In most cases, a student-athlete who transfers from one NCAA institution to another is permitted to practice and receive athletics aid immediately at the second institution. As a general rule, the transfer student is required to serve an "academic year-in-residence" at the second institution prior to competing. However, several exceptions to the transfer rule exist that enable a student-athlete to be immediately eligible for competition at the second institution.

The most commonly used exception is known as the "one-time transfer exception." As the name suggests, this exception allows a student-athlete to transfer from one NCAA institution to another on one occasion and be immediately eligible for competition. Certain conditions must be met to use this exception, including: (1) the student-athlete must have been in good academic standing and academically eligible for competition at the previous institution; (2) the previous institution must grant the student-athlete written permission to use of the exception; and (3) the student-athlete cannot have transferred previously from a four-year institution. [Note: In Division I, the one-time transfer exception is not available if the student-athlete wishes to participate in basketball, men's ice hockey or Division I-A football at the second institution.]

As of last year, the exemption is no longer available for baseball either.

I should have just done the research myself in the first place.

And the Falcons in the NFC West and the Cardinals in the NFC East.  We could go on and on.

They'd have to convert The Chapter House into an Eating Club.

No thank you.[/quote]
The Chapter House would be a whole lot better with *some* food that isn't nasty popcorn.  Well, to be fair, it's slightly less nasty than the popcorn at Dunbar's.

[quote Josh '99][quote Swampy]This is truly shocking, although I suspect there's more to this than meets the eye. If Tierney wanted, no doubt he could have hired his son as an assistant at Princeton.[/quote]True, but as the original article points out, Tierney has other family members out west - another son living in Portland, a daughter coaching at Berkeley, his mother living in Arizona.  It doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility that he might be moving to be closer to them as well.  Also, guessing based on Bill's age, Trevor might have kids in school in Colorado, making a move to NJ to coach together a less appealing option.[/quote]

True, and maybe if he plans on driving to see them -- or vice versa -- being in Colorado is a big advantage. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure if he were to drive from Princeton to Kennedy he'd be able to get non-stops to SFO or Oakland, Portland, or Phoenix, whereas from Denver he might have to change planes. I'm not sure exactly how big an advantage Colorado is if he's flying. The West is much bigger than the East.

Clearly Pep is waiting to clean the popcorn machine until we win another national championship.

At least since the merger the E doesn't stand for East anymore. It just stands for... E.

Denver is a United hub.  Getting a non-stop to there from NYC should be easy.

I wouldn't call anything involving United easy. At least not if you value things such as luggage and getting to your destination.

I didn't say getting there was easy.  I said getting a non-stop was easy.  ::wtf::

Or maybe the appropriate smiley was: ::popcorn::
