Cornell lacrosse 2020

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

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

Hard to believe we won't see Jeff Teat suit up for the Big Red again.

I dont think thats a done deal.  the NCAA allows 5 yrs and the IVYS just need to allow 5 and then get waivers for the SRs who want to come back.

The players would also need to know if they have to fail classes to stay undergrads, or would the IVYs allow an exception to let them play as grad students.

IVY took the season away they should try to fix it for the kids who want to come back.

If you are referring to Jeff Teat, I'm assuming he's going pro as the #1 draft choice.

Do those guys get paid a living wage by their teams or is it all endorsements?

Not sure, but I think "living wage" may be a bit optimistic. Over on the Hockey forum's alumni thread I posted a video of Rob Pannell announcing he's leaving MLL for PLL. I assume money is at least partly the reason.

There is the matter of a senior player dropping enough classes to not graduate this spring (unless the Ivies allow a post-grad year this one time, which could be the stalking horse for more permanent change), having to find something to do in the fall, and then coming up with $28,000 in spring 2021 tuition and fees, less scholarship grants.

Rob Pannell came back for a fifth season after being injured early in his fourth season and getting a medical waiver.

Shame not to see Jeff Teat get a full senior season. The shadowing defense really crimped his style sophomore and junior years. Now with a more potent midfielder and attackman offense, he was freer this year and more of a complete weapon. Including with :18 to play against Penn State for the tying goal.

NCAA likely to extend eligibility for spring athletes:

[upprdeck]

now will the Ivies relax and let it happen

[Weder]

So that would mean the NCAA would allow a sixth year of eligibility and Ivies would potentially go to a fifth for affected athletes, right?

[upprdeck]

they should say its a RS yr for everyone and those that have already played 4 thats it.. For the rest its a yr they would have lost because of too many games already played.. For the IVY they need to allow kids to take the RS.

For the Winter sports almost all of them were done so its just a bad beat.

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"?)
