Pannell eligibility approved

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

I agree with Robb above. Pannell is to be commended.  In an era when athletes leave college early to play professionally, Rob is choosing to stay at Cornell, where he'll be taking additional courses as well as playing lacrosse.  I'm looking forward to watching #3 this spring.

Not in lacrosse where pros make peanuts.

I'm mixed on this too. I know we'd all be piling on Princeton if they pulled this with a prize lax star.

We would.  And they'd deserve it.  ::smashfreak::

We don't.  ::rolleyes::

Of course it would never happen at Haaarrrvard where an A is automatic so not finishing a course is impossible.::bang::

Eh.  I mean, it's a medical redshirt after a serious injury, that just happenns to be more newsworthy because it was the senior year of the reigning Enners Award winner.  It's not like he's being held back strategically to gain a competitive advantage.  It's only because the Ivy League's silly redshirt rules don't allow him to play a year as a grad student (nobody would object to Pannell's academic progress if he were getting a masters degree) that they had to do the thing with the incomplete.

Thank you, Al, for a subject line that provides all the info we needed. Everytime there was a burst of traffic on Rob Pannell Status I held my breath thinking it would be that he's transferring or the appeal was shot down. Now, please, let's take care of the unfinished business of the past half decade. It's small comfort to know that Maryland has had a dryer spell than Cornell.

Yes, the last 30 seconds of the catastrophic SU-CU NCAA championship game will be seared upon my cortex until I go to meet my ancestors.
That incredible debacle might only have been surpassed by a Pannell denial or transfer. Might have been.

Now I can exhale.
