Regarding the lack of cooperation by the admissions office at Princeton - in my opinion, every other Ivy league school should follow Princeton's example. I'm not saying this as a Syracuse fan, but as someone who believes in academics over athletics. The exceptions made by other Ivy league schools, in my opinion, should be simply that - an exception and not the norm. Without knowing the admissions criteria or what exceptions are made, I can only speculate and that's not something worth debating. If we consider these young adults as student athletes, then schools, both Ivy and non-Ivy league schools shouldn't have two sets of standards, one for athletes and one for non-athletes. Work hard, both in the classroom and outside of the classroom; if you work hard enough, you will get into the school of your choice without an exception needing to be made.

I am not a fan of transferring for more playing time either even though at times that has benefited Syracuse. If there is someone ahead of you on the depth chart, work harder, put in the extra work and time with the staff and your teammates, beat the other guys out. Earn your playing time; coaches also need to be unbiased and play the best player regardless of whether they are freshmen or red shirt seniors, in my opinion.
