2020-21 Season *Officially* Delayed

Still others may not be warm to the idea of being crammed into a student section even if these vaccines prove effective.

I hardly think students will be concerned about this once we get past the pandemic.

Will be interesting to see if there is any change to the Lynah atmosphere due to an entire missed season. Assuming an equal distribution by class (probably not the case) a full half of the student section will have never been to a game next season as opposed to the usual 25%. Have to think there's a learning curve for the cheers and all that.  Still others may not be warm to the idea of being crammed into a student section even if these vaccines prove effective.

OTOH maybe we can use this break to untrain the next batch of students in some of the worse crap that has accumulated.  A Constitutional Amendment prohibiting remote control goaltender, for example.  

Some new things are good.  Some need to, so to speak, diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie.

Well, assuming he's graduating this year he couldn't play at Cornell next year anyway.

It's definitely going down in the Ow My Balls Hall of Fame that Mike built a national championship caliber squad, only to see a once-per-century event melt it away.

But it's a fucking game and this is health and life.

Donaldson and Mullin in the transfer portal too.

Why the Ivy League couldn't suspend this particular rule is just beyond me. It's not like any grad program in the Ivies is going to just keep some athlete around so he or she can play one more year. In just this one, absolutely unique situation, what could possibly be the harm!

Argh! Let it go, Scersk. Let it go.

What is the harm in kicking it altogether? Why encourage athletes to play for another school?

It's almost as if a pathetic cartel of long overrated, obsolete, privileged children of wealthy idiots is desperately maintaining arbitrary discriminators to bolster their fading branding, while the flop sweat of failsons drains into Cayuga's waters.

Big East is playing, Big 10.  Why not ECAC? College football is playing with fits and starts.  Games cancelled or rescheduled.  But they're managing.

I don't know if a hockey program is like a train that you can just hop on and hop off and it just keeps going.  Once players start going somewhere else they keep going there.  Programs become places to be or to consider.  Others also with good coaches, facilities fall off the radar.

Programs are either rising of falling.  BU, Michigan, us, etc., have had stretches of glory and stretches of gloom. Times have been good  lately, each year better than the last.  It would a shame for it to peter out for what turns out to be no reason.

Your last two words are utter nonsense.  Get your head out of...the sand.

Beyond forcing them to enter the transfer portal to play as grad students, it limits their grad school educational opportunities.  With a few exceptions, most of the schools with college hockey teams, other than the Ivys, are not exceptional institutions when it comes to graduate programs.  Perhaps Michagan, Wisconsin, Notre Dame are exceptions here.  If education is truly a priority, then allow successful student athletes to use their final year of eligibility as grad students at any institution, including an Ivy institution.

this underrates a lot of good graduate programs across the country and overrates how important the grad program is to the player looking to play as a grad student
