My comments are based on IF this is TRUE.

This wouldn't surprise , ivies already employ holistic admissions to make exceptions.  Cuse standards are surely  flexible for athletes  but without the same front.

Certain conversations would have to be had in advance for such decisions to be made so quickly. Not sure if NCAA eligibility decision is absolute yet so the tactic of dropping out and readmitting would not only circumvent a Ivy League rule but could advantaged those programs who allow  that tactic . In other words, a Yale sr could return while a Cuse sr could not if NCAA reconsiders their initial stance.

Students/ players are not going to circumvent a IVY rule on their own without clearance from the program, admissions and administration. Well endowed Yale alumni who already support the lax program heavily would likely be willing to address any financial considerations which will be a problem for many other schools/students.

Call it a exception being made for extenuating circumstances but its a clear tactic to  circumvents  a IVY rule which makes it  farcial unless otherwise changed
