CORNELL WINS 2025 MENS LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

How many years of NCAA eligibility does a player have? Ivy League doesn't allow grad students on teams but how can someone play anywhere as a grad student if he has already used four years somewhere else? I thought NCAA eligibility was four years, not five.

They typically have 5 years complete 4 years of eligibility.  Wallace didn't see any action in his sophomore year and played in only 8 games in 2024.  I assume he was granted an injury waiver for a graduate year.

I'm a bit of a contrarian with respect to outdoor weather and lacrosse. Yes, there is that player safety issue to contend with. But if we are to uphold the true spirit of the game, if we are to keep what makes geography interesting, i think nature should not be cut out of it.

It is ironic that the author uses a euphemism.

Considering Rendell, I'd imagine it was not his first choice...

Considering the title of his book, I'd imagine he not quite the tough guy he believes himself to be.

Considering the title of his book, I'd imagine he not quite the tough guy he believes himself to be.

Rendell was certainly "colorful," and he did some good in his time. This book was probably his mini-Giuliani moment. At least there was no hair dye running down his face as he rode off into the sunset.

My commentary, if there could be said to be such by dropping in a picture, was only that there is a long, relatively silly debate over just this kind of thing. As an upstate New Yorker, I'll say that there is some point to the elements "building character"; I'll also say that can go way too far. (Note the struggles our crew team has getting out some seasons.)

I want the lacrosse team to use the facility just enough to get in quality practice but not too much as to lose the well-known weather-related aspects of our home-field advantage, which there is no shame in exploiting.

Coach Buczek seems like the kind of guy who will leave no stone unturned to get the most out of his teams. I imagine the team will spend a fair amount of time in the hard, unforgiving Ithaca mornings early in the year.

A full indoor field will make us a better team. It will be especially helpful for work in the fall and deep into the winter when the foundations are established for understanding schemes on O and D, developing chemistry on the field, improving conditioning, strength, and esprit de corps.

Are the coaches allowed to run practices in the fall and winter?

Last week, Walker Wallace, a first-team All-Ivy League long stick midfielder, helped the Cornell men's lacrosse team win the national title. Now, the Richmond native is transferring to #UVa to play football. He will be a tight end for the Cavaliers.

To play football??

Yes, but they are limited on how many practices/hours they can run.

To play football??

Yes, for football. Several lacrosse players have made the switch, most famously Chris Hogan, a Penn State midfielder who did a grad year playing football at Monmouth and then went on to have a decent pro career as a wide receiver.

We had a wrestler, Ben Honis, who played linebacker (well, special teams) at Syracuse for his grad school year.

Assume you're not including Jim Brown because he technically didn't switch?

Also, Lax Guy became a minor meme in the NBA this year:

Wow. The more you know. Didn't Wallace also switch positions in lacrosse at some point? Feels like I recall that.

Wallace was second team All-State in football when he played in high school.

I mean it's probably difficult to go play lacrosse somewhere else after winning the NC, so probably best to play a different sport entirely. Guess he doesn't play hockey like his brother?
