Sublime607 141 Report post Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) 41 minutes ago, ugarte said: in what way? scholarships? grad transfer years? if so, it's no different than the disadvantages ivies have in freshman recruiting. and even if it does, it's a disadvantage the league created itself. you can't impose additional restrictions on yourself and then complain that other schools have an unfair advantage. as fans, anyone can argue anything but any complaints should be directed to the league, not the ncaa (on this issue; the ncaa mostly sucks). making it easier to transfer is good. I'm not complaining about anything my thought process is that most transfers from other schools aren't transferring to a IVY school. so when a hole in a lineup opens up because of injury the PSU and Iowa of the world can fill them with the portal much easier because of grade standards. Cornell needs to stat healthy the next 2 years because the others can plug and play much easier is what I was really getting at.

Gantry 1,872 Report post Posted January 15, 2020 The % of people complaining about the FLWC is super low, it's just that the loudest people (and the people who need to have the last word on every argument) get heard the most unfortunately around here. Welcome LGR2007! The key about the Cornell redshirts is that they aren't losing a bunch of senior talent when they get back on the mats. I think it's a good move, I also think that Vito and Dean are not title contenders this year anyway. They aren't beating Spencer/Zahid in any universe, so give them a year to improve.

I agree Dean would not beat Zahid, but he would have a good shot at the finals. Do you think he would be a title favorite next year or any year? Just asking.

But I disagree with the academic statement that also applies to Lehigh your not accepting basket weavers either. Not saying all transfers cant get in but it's a extra hurtle to jump. Ps.

You're Ivy in name only in wrestling and a select couple of other sports. Smart play for the school to look the other way on a relatively small number of students to establish a perennial power on a par with the Big 10 boys, where admission standards are non-existent for the top dogs coming out of h.s. Actually I take it back, you're pretty much Ivy in name only in general as you're really nothing like the other seven Ivies at all. Everyone seems to know this except you.

That said immobilization of the knee is usually used when there is underlying instability (ACL/PCL/other stabilizer), which makes me think it could be a while.

That's what is confusing. There is no information regarding an injury on the Cornell website, he is still listed on the roster and wrestlstat does not list him a s injured --just as a non-starter.
