In what could have been a legendary year for the entire league. 3 of the top 5 are done. Heartbreaking for all.

Woof. It happens but... woof.  It's 1919.

not sure i get the logic..   the kids least likely to get anything and traveling by bus for the most part and playing in front of no crowds if they wanted

the logic is basically that the university is basically shut down so there is no support. they won't even hold practices. right now i'm just clinging on to them finishing the winter sports.

Additionally, even if individual teams travel together, if you're using shared workout equipment, even a single case on one of the teams could put all other users at risk. It sucks, but it's the inevitable outcome. Now we just need to pray that the league is at least willing to throw the seniors a bone, and grant a blanket year of eligibility or something.

well considering everyone is still working and all the research is going to continue I am not sure how shut down it really is.

Cornell isnt really doing anything until after break which is after the ECAC tourney anyway.

I understand and appreciate the decision. Human life is at stake. But what a heartbreaking turn of events.

"clinging" is the right word for it.

Is it the Ivy League or NC$$ that makes this decision? Or, grid forbid, both?

It seems like this was done by the Ivy League presidents. A post from some Harvard track and field athletes who won't be going to the NCAA indoor meet said that the athletics department wanted to send them to the championships but got overruled by the administration.

[upprdeck]

so if the kids stay home and get sick can they blame the school because they didnt travel and get away from it?

[Swampy]

No, I meant the decision on extending the players' eligibility.

So...on the bright side - undefeated season!

(nope didn't help.  still completely bummed.)
