NCAA denies Ivy League kids the extra year

This makes literally no sense.

 

[Killdozer]

No surprise. Unless the NCAA can profit from it there is no point from their point of view.

Way to go NCAA.

Another bizarre decision that protects no one but hurts the student athletes you are supposed to be protecting.

Glad Syracuse is not affected by the latest blunder by these boneheads.

They have to be the worst run organization in all of sports.

Didn’t Kansas just graduate a kid that played 7 years of ball?

Yep, Tommy Callahan.

This guy somehow played at Illinois, Depaul, Iowa State, and Kansas over 7 years.

If there's a logical decision to be made, you can count on the NCAA to bungle it.

Generally, in spectacular fashion.

Haha, take that, nerds!

Ryan Arcidiacono is still playing for Nova.

So is this their stupid tiny solution, punishing these kids for the fiasco caused by their transfer portal and its’ effect on high school recruiting etc? Absolutely makes no sense. The NCAA punishing the epitome of student athletes but reward programs that have no show classes etc - uggh.

The schools should just allow it and tell the NCAA to go eat a D.

 

[CousCuse]

The extra year in general has caused a problem for the incoming freshman classes. I think the NCAA wants to end this as soon as possible.

Emmert: "Well... if you put it that way, 'wheelhouse.'"

Be careful, NCAA. Those Ivy Leaguers tend to migrate to positions of power.

Just to take the contrarian and probably unpopular point of view on this - while it’s terrible for the student athletes and I feel for them, it’s really the Ivy League who screwed them. Not the NCAA. The Ivy League decided not to play at all last year, despite all of the other leagues giving it a go. Did any other leagues shut down, or was it just the Ivy? I truly can’t remember. But we got through the season last year, albeit with a lot of hiccups. That’s probably what the NCAA based their decision on. It’s unfortunate, but I remember a lot of folks calling the decision ridiculous by the Ivy League last year.

An excellent post; yes, the Ivy league cancelled their season causing the athletes to lose a year of eligibility

So it this entire fiasco is based on suit wearing individuals at the Ivy League headquarters and the NCAA brass. Both the entities are at fault and have totally overlooked the student athletes. There is no reason that the NCAA can't over rule the Ivy League DOPES that are in charge.

Bingo, the issue lies with the IVY leagues decision to essentially cancel the 2021 season. NCAA already gave a blanket waiver once, they weren't gonna do it again.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

yeah, I feel terrible for all these kids who’ll get jobs immediately upon graduation just because they graduated from these schools

 

[miamicuse]

Can they just do a graduate transfer to play the 5th year?
