My understanding is Teat would only have to drop out of Cornell if he wanted to rejoin Cornell. He would still be an undergrad, so he wouldn't have exhausted his fourth year - they are saying you cannot be in grad school and play in the Ivy League (see Pannell, Rob). I thought this was why Sowers dropped out? Or by playing last year did that count as a full year, hence he played four years of lacrosse and his eligibility is exhausted? I'm so confused.

If this article by the Post-Standard is correct, players could still transfer, but they'd have to hope money is still available (again I don't know how you decide how much to allocate to the Ivy kids, an entire scholarship?) or they have to pay.

I do better with examples - take Rhefuss for instance. There are 12.5 scholarships distributed throughout the entire SU program. Say Rhefuss is getting half a scholarship right now, out of that 12.5 (this is totally made up, I have no idea what he gets ). My understanding is if he decides to come back, Syracuse could give him UP TO that half scholarship without it counting against next years allocation. So the incoming freshmen would still get their scholarship money they were promised before this all happened and everyone is (relatively) happy. But since Ivy League kids don't receive athletic scholarships, how do you decide how much money they would take up? Again, Rhefuss would just receive what he was getting last year.

Thanks to those who were able to get through all this.
