Can someone explain to me how the computer has Syracuse having played 5 games but is 7-1?

(And to preempt an obvious joke: "As my math professor used to say to us, 'It's intuitively obvious.' Syracuse is Syracuse.")

Or how our 5-0 record became 4-1?

("Alternative facts"?)
I think it means our wins were fourth best and our nonexistent losses rank us first in losses along with the other three unbeaten teams.  Also unbeaten Syracuse had the seventh best wins and was also first in losses so fourth and first makes us better than Syracuse's seventh and first.

Don't high-5 us all just yet. There's a pay-wall.

so the NCAA allowing another year for spring sports is gonna cause some chaos if the ivy doesnt give the SRs another yr if they want it.   otherwise a bunch of these kids may go to schools with scholies but they may not have ones to offer either.

Michael Sowers already withdrew from classes at Princeton so he's planning on coming back.

upprdeck

every kid gets that extra yr not just the SRs.. the Ivy league needs to address this or there will be tons of kids rolling out over the next 4 yrs. It would also allow the  Ivy schools to get some 5th yrs as transfers back in instead of sending them out every yr.

Teat getting his yr back and playing against Cornell will suck.  But some of these kids wont want to play and pay for another yr.

upprdeck

The Ivys decided to not let these kids get the 5th yr.. so here we wont finish classes and we wont have graduations and then we decide to not let you come back and finish your final yr at your school and make it harder to transfer because of the 12.6 rule..

just so dumb

I'm one of what seems like a minority that thinks time moves forward. Nobody is getting this year back. Not athletes, not anyone else. It sucks, of course, but it would also suck to be a rising senior who thought he'd finally get on the field only to find that the entire graduating class is coming back.

Sorry for being morose but while i empathize with the kids for what they're losing, as the bodies pile up, I can't bring myself to care that much.
