not good news that Yale is cancelling..  not sure why the Ivies dont allow a season after seeing how it has gone since fall for the big schools around the country. Cornell already testing more than many of these schools that are playing now..  play IVY only H/A schedule and start in march/april or play 2 games a weekend Fri/Sun a few weeks and they could have a season.

The article on Inside Lacrosse seems to indicate it was for lack of players.  40 players withdrew from school leaving them with only 8 players.

yeah.. but its also because they didnt think they were gonna play that the players all bailed before the semester started..  games already started and we dont even have a schedule so unless the ivy is gonna play only league games its doubtful right now..

which comes first the ASUN in the NCAA with an AQ or the IVY plays again..

It's early February. Princeton now Duke All-America Michael Sowers and the Blue Devils make ESPN highlights. Why do the Ivy presidents work to disadvantage athletes when it comes to Covid-19, as well as the ones smart enough to graduate in < 4 years and would like to play while in grad school?

for a place with tons of smart people they sure seem like they try to do stupid things when it comes to sports.. if they dont want kids to really be here then dont have sports at all.

From Inside Lacrosse:

As Cornell was set to begin instruction for the Spring 2021 term on Monday, Big Red head Connor Buczek sent a letter to supporters of Cornell Lacrosse notifying recipients that the team's status still has no definitive answer, but that a group of players will take a leave of absence in order to play another season at Cornell.

Supporters of Cornell Lacrosse,

I know many of you are anxiously awaiting a decision from the Ivy League regarding spring sport competition. Unfortunately as we begin classes today for the spring semester, there is still no definitive answer. With that in mind, we had to have discussions with our team to set expectations for the spring and help them understand all possible options.

Due to the uncertain nature of this semester and what our team will be able to do in terms of practice, development and competition, there will be a group of players that will take a leave of absence from school for the spring. Ultimately, the odds did not indicate that competition was going to be likely, so we allowed each individual family to make the best decision for them regarding enrollment this spring. The leave of absence guarantees these young men the ability to play another season at Cornell, a place and program that means so much to all of us.

As difficult as this situation has been on all members of our Cornell lacrosse family, I am incredibly proud of the bondedness and selflessness of our players. Collectively, they have handled the impacts of the pandemic with incredible grace and togetherness. Through countless conversations with our team, their families, and alums, it has been a pleasant reminder that it's the people in our program that makes Cornell lacrosse so special. We look forward to the next time we get to make you all proud by our efforts on the field, but until that time comes, you can rest assured that our group is upholding the standards of Cornell lacrosse in every way they can.

Best wishes to you and your families. Better days to come.

Best,

Connor

IL has not yet learned which players are in the group that has decided to withdraw; check back for more on this developing story.

the fact the ivies are sitting into Feb and not made any decision on this is just bad. Kids would have had to make the financial decisions and class decisions  weeks ago.

Any idea if these are all seniors? Could be all underclassmen who just don't want to lose a year, rather than seniors who might otherwise have played their last serious lacrosse game.

There's been discussion of widespread vaccine availability by March. Maybe we'll see some Cornell lacrosse in April and May.

They should have made this decision a long time ago!  Some players have already transferred to other schools.

Seriously.

Might as well just grind the poor into slurry for line markers.

Is it time to kill the rich, yet?  I'm not being impatient, I'm just curious.
