Andrew Luck?

He certainly wouldn't cost Cornell anything given the $24 million he's being paid by the Colts this season,

Never mind as a coach...does he have any eligibility left.

Probably not. But maybe we can make him the lifetime QB coach, or give him lifetime parking, in return for him donating a tax write-off indoor practice facility. Of course, we'd name it (Good) Luck Hall.

Our former QB coach left Cornell in June for the powerhouse program Hamilton College.

Shane Hurd goes from HC Union Endicott HS --> QB coach Cornell --> offensive coordinator Hamilton. That may be upward progress. Plus he's looking at lower housing costs in Clinton, NY. https://athletics.hamilton.edu/sports/fball/2018-19/releases/20190625jqz76w

We do have a better O-line than the Colts.

Gonna be any football discussion in the Cornell football thread? There are a lot of positives for 2019. Here's three.
[list=1]

• We have a veteran coach familiar with the Cornell system.
• The prediction for Cornell this year has the Big Red all the way up to seventh.
• Nobody has been paid under the table to play at Cornell.

4. We have very few bandwagon fans.

[list=1]

• We have a veteran coach familiar with the Cornell system. Who's record is 15–45 overall.
  
• The prediction for Cornell this year has the Big Red all the way up to seventh. And haven't finished above 4th since 2004.
  
• Nobody has been paid under the table to play at Cornell. And neither will the football program receive any more funding from the Cornell Football Alumni Association.
  

Frankly, the only positive is this will hopefully be the last year under David Archer.

Sadly, we said that last year, too.

4. We have very few bandwagon fans.

And we have a band.

• We have a system???
• The voting was close.
• You know this how, exactly? Seems to me we'd HAVE to pay these poor guys to play here.

I don't understand why this is still a problem. The issues are NCAA rules, and that CU must follow them. If anyone has had any contact with "big time college sports", they will realize all the hoops that schools have to go through to be sure they stay in compliance.

It just is what it is. You can't have an independent group helping to support a sports team. The school is responsible for everything, even someone who acts on their own. If that group does something "illegal", the school suffers, not the group.

If the school knowingly receives help from someone who doesn't follow the rules, down can come the hammer.

Institutional control is mandatory, like it or not.

I believe CFA's issue is with the inadequate level of support the university provides for the football program.  This is less about institutional control of a booster group & more about providing the necessary funding, facilities, & staff required for a competitive Ivy program.  As the CFA states in their letter, after two decades of abysmal results, "Results matter".  The CFA is much closer to the situation than I am.  And they vote no confidence in the stewardship of our football program
