Transfer Portal

Don’t know any details about Bernhardt but it sounds like Maryland knew he was coming back during the fall. So he just registered for spring classes. Doubt he going for a second degree.

Aitken is probably something similar to Bernhardt. Both are in good standing with their schools and had just graduated.

TD is different he going to completely different school so is different. Now Denver has a different semester system. Think they do three semesters system

I think they call that trimesters.

Bernhardt and Aitken make sense to me. Bernhardt to my knowledge never enrolled at another school. Either he graduated last year and maybe he’s doing some post grad classes right now; or maybe he didn’t graduate last year and is finishing this year. Aitken is a little different because he did enroll at Villanova but he was a grad transfer so maybe UVA is letting him continue his graduate classes.

Ierlan is weird as heck though. He never graduated. So he’s finishing a Yale degree; that he started at Albany; at Denver? He’s gonna get a Yale degree while playing lacrosse at Denver this year? How on earth does any of that work?

I don’t see how,

if TD doesn’t want to wait, then he’ll have to transfer
his credits to Denver and finish up with a degree from
Denver, I would think,

if you’re going to play in the market,
there’s no free lunch.

Adding TD right as your season starts seems like a slippery slope to just decide to start renting players for a few months. At least the other 2 Yale guys have been grinding since September. Maybe Coach T just knows he’s retiring and wants to go out on top.

My guess is it’s Covid related. Another thread mentioned some Ivies cancelling their 2021 lacrosse seasons. Hope that’s not true, but this transfer makes me wonder.

He’s definitely transferring because the Ivy isn’t going to play. I think that’s pretty obvious. My question isn’t that; it’s how you can finish a Yale degree by taking classes at Denver

In a world of remote classes, can't anyone finish their last few courses while they "transfer" to another school for sports? The transfer portal is about NCAA eligibility and getting picked up by other coaches. I don't think it has anything to do with registration for classes. Lots of non athletes are taking semesters off and disrupting their academic schedules due to COVID. Think of all the international students that are unable to travel and remote classes don't work when you are 12 hours off in time zone. I have no idea if TD goes to Denver, but he could technically still take remote classes at Yale from anywhere in the world. He would also have to take classes at Denver towards a graduate degree at the same time.

The portal is about eligibility and getting picked up by other coaches but I’ve literally never heard of a player being enrolled at one school and playing another. You can’t just play for another school without taking classes there. You are playing college sports.

Absolutely. You can indeed take remote classes anywhere in the world but you obviously cannot be playing for another school while doing it. Nor can you be taking undergrad courses at Yale and grad courses at Denver or anywhere else at the same time. Graduate school is for those, you know, who have graduated already.

It is Friday and time for happy hour....

Clearly, TD would need to be enrolled as a full time student at the school he is playing for.

But, who says he can't take his last credits at Yale remotely so he gets a Yale degree at the same time.

Looonnnggg ago, I took classes towards graduate school, while I was still an undergraduate. Granted it was the same school. It really comes down to the admissions department of the school TD is trying to play for. I have NO IDEA what TD is doing. I was just pointing out that TD can still technically graduate from Yale.

“Long ago, I took classes towards graduate school while I was still an undergraduate. Granted it was at the same school.”

Yes that’s the key. The same school, likely in a program at that school. Not two different institutions.

Maybe there is some weird loophole or way around this but I haven’t heard of it

I agree. But, there was no internet and zoom was a TV show when I went to school. COVID and some leagues potentially not playing creates an environment where some admission departments may let TD enroll in graduate school with contingencies. Maybe some of the same exceptions that would have been made around WW1 or WW2. Who knows... Just because you enter the portal and explore options, doesn't mean it works out.
