Huge bummer for him.  Wishing him the best.

Oh man, that is a blow.

How's our club team doing? The way guys are falling we may need to bring up someone asap ::scared::

It just says RS.  Where there's life there's hope.

Note that people should be extremely circumspect about posting anything to this thread that is not public information, for obvious reasons.

Glad you pointed out "regular" season. I'd glossed over that. Let's hope he'll be back for the playoffs

if we get the bye that means 5 weeks of recovery at a min.

Would you consider information on injuries from Coach Schafer, sent to whatever his e-mail distribution list is, to be "public" enough to post? I imagine many of us received an email message from him this afternoon which has the same information about Vanderlaan, and some additional information. I was going to share that info here, with a comment on the above, but will wait to make sure the consensus here (or just Greg's opinion) is that it is OK to do so.

If it came from Schafer in a general distribution e-mail, I see no reason it cannot be shared in this Forum (and yes, I am a lawyer)

I don't think Greg was concerned about the legality of sharing information here, but rather whether or not opposing coaching staffs might have access to the information or not.

Will sharing the info here be sharing it with Clarkson & SLU, who probably aren't on Schafer's distribution list?

I guess that's kind of what I am asking.

On the one hand, if opposing teams really are interested in that information it is not ridiculous to think they would have someone check sites like this. It's also not ridiculous to think that if they really want the information, they could get an address into the distribution list, and get the information directly. I just don't know, but would prefer to err on the side of caution, since Greg was clearly concerned about the original post.

Two concerns:

1. Spies.  Spies, everywhere.  MY PRECIOUS!!!

2. Respect for the player's privacy.

I was not concerned about OP -- a public tweet by a news organization.  I would worry about RUMINT, and also about insider trading.

My personal view on a Schafer-shared email to the Cornell community is I wouldn't post it to a public site.  But I am hardly The Director of Ethics of eLynah so of course use your own discretion.  I merely wished to put an oar in the water.

I cannot imagine that Mike would divulge confidential injury info to a mailing list, of any sort, expecting complete confidentiality.  Out of that entire list, Mike has to know that somebody will divulge that secret.  He would NEVER take that chance!!

I tend to agree with you. But that fact doesn't necessarily mean that we should post that information here.

Yes, that's my thought too.  If Mike send out an e-mail to a general e-Mail list it's hard to imagine he would reasonably expect the information would be kept "secret." That being said I can understand why someone would elect not to post the information on a public forum.
