It's a start, let's make it 9/1/21.

What was the source?

Maybe I'm just missing it, but I haven't seen anything in this decision that relates to athletics.  It wouldn't be all that surprising if a disproportionate percentage of the "40%" of on-campus students happened to be athletes.  That said, the Ivy League is supposed to be making some sort of announcement on July 8th.

For the most part you're right. But here's the thing: if this country could actually bring the novel coronavirus under control, we might be able to have hockey, lacrosse, basketball, etc. this coming academic year. This connection opens up the discussion to considering idiots who are preventing the US from bringing the virus under control.

Interesting nugget deep in the nytimes article:

"and in a sign of how impactful the loss of a season may be on a broad swath of athletes, the Ivy League said it would consider granting a fifth year of eligibility for athletes — something it stood steadfastly against when spring sports were canceled."

I think they should say you still only get 4 years but 20-21 isn't a year.  That way they don't compromise their principle but nobody is affected.

Semantics....

Ask yourself, "Which is more important, the amusement of thousands of hockey fans and the careers of thousands of politicians OR the lives and wellbeing of millions of Americans?" See how easy that was?

We are dealing with ideology, not thinking.

And never the twain shall meet.

Let it be.  #nopolitics

Looks like a bit of offseason work is going on at Lynah: new boards.
