Money: Cornellians lost to (and gained from) the portal

[stereax]

I always liked, as many of us did, that Roberston fessed up and "blamed" his parents when he transferred--"can't ask my parents to keep paying this tuition."  That's just a much more politic, and charming, response to the question, 

That's not even "blaming" though - it's just "money, currently, matters to the family". Which I think many of us can relate to! Especially given how damn much Cornell costs, and that Ivies don't give scholarships to athletes.

Be careful how you say this. Ivies don't give Athletic Scholarships, but they do give scholarships to athletes and many receive them.

Yeah - that is what I meant! Sorry for being technically wrong. I guess "Ivies don't give scholarships purely for athletics" is a better way to put it?

Hockey Think Tank #416

Topher Scott talks everything NCAA Hockey in this episode, including transfer portal, NIL and new 5 year rule.

(this could have been in a few different threads, Alumni in the Pros? IDK. Mods feel free to move)

I know I started this thread and all, but, having now read through it and followed the links and stories, I realized I just don't give a shit about what goes on off-ice.

The team I love are those who are wearing the sweater as I watch a particular game.  Whoever comes out the tunnel is yay.

The rest is codswallop.
