I was talking with Larry yesterday, and he raised an issue I hadn't thought of: individual career records. If a fifth year is granted, how will records be calculated? Seems unfair to allow 4.5 years of stats to count. So what do you do? Not count 2020 if the player takes a fifth year, either next y...

Did I read that a decision is coming on Monday?

Vote is coming Monday and hopefully some sort of announcement as well. Then it gets interesting because the Conferences that don’t allow 5th years (Ivy, Patriot, etc.) will have to weigh in next.

The recruiting topic is an interesting one. Really only impacts 2022s at this point but 2023s a little. For 2022s June is top tourney and showcases. Then July is usually camps and prospect days. Then quiet period starts at some point in August. If we lose June to Corona, most camps and prospect days...

If they go back on the one year extension, it will be a cluster....I also have a junior and I am sure she is counting on at least having the opportunity to take a 5th year. Life is complicated now, but the NCAA cant pull the rug out and just say "my bad". That would be a colossal mistake....

I do think it is possible the NCAA reverses and rains on everybody's parade now that they have had time to weigh all of the consequences. Is that just your conjecture or do you have any intel to base that on? Obviously if the NCAA were to reverse course, there would be an uproar. If I were the NCAA...

One aspect of the truncated 2020 season was perhaps teams that in one respect were appreciative for the "reset", if you will. There were also teams that greatly regret not being able to finish this particular season given how well they were playing. One team that jumps right to the head o...

Duke v BC game would have been a good one! I gave Duke the edge even though BC was surprisingly competitive against Notre Dame. I didn’t think at the time that BC would have an answer for all Duke’s weapons on offense not to mention towering success in the draw circle. Duke would win that game I al...

With no athletic scholarship money, I have a hard time believing that many (if any) spring Ivy League athletes would take advantage of another year of eligibility, if available. Fall sports are completely different. For those Ivy athletes that currently do an extra year (bc of a medical redshirt) t...

Ring the dinner bell and announce the feast of the Ivy League 2020 class. The league is making no exceptions for these athletes. If they would like to use their NCAA-granted fifth year, the system in place that mandates they play somewhere else is in full effect (i.e no graduate students are eligib...

I've also heard that a school can take away your scholarship if you ask to enter the transfer portal. I would appreciate it if someone who really knows can shed some light on this. Thanks! Yes a scholarship can be taken away if you enter the portal. Timing is the key. Spring athletes can't lose cur...

Thanks LaxGuy17 In answer to the rest of your questions about why students transfer, it’s academics, athletics and both. I suspect this year will tip towards athletics with the extra year, but having spoken to several seniors who are impacted by the canceled season, getting another degree and enhan...

Can anyone explain to me in layman's terms what it means to go in the transfer portal? Is it like becoming a free agent? Do you go in knowing who wants you on the other end or do you go in blind? What is a transfer portal? I have no idea how it works. Do students transfer out of their current schoo...

winners and losers on all sides of the extra year debate. Transfer portal up. Any rumors about who is in already?

It certainly has cast a pall over the rest of the season. It’s anybody’s guess at this point whether we even finish the regular season, let alone make it to the conference championships and The Tournament. If that ends up being the case, I’ll feel really bad for the student athletes, especially the...
