Subject: Re: Five-for-Five Impact? Author: Go Green [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:57:27 04/24/26 Fri In reply to: Greenhorn 's message, "Five-for-Five Impact?" on 10:53:57 04/24/26 Fri Personally, I'd expect that even if the Ivy did go with the five-for-five rule, the overwhelming majority of our players would use the extra eligibility year at a graduate school. And no--I do not expect the Ivy to ever lift its ban on grad students playing. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Author: observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:30:21 04/25/26 Sat As long as Princeton doesn't have many graduate programs, there will never be grad eligibility in the Ivies. It would help Cornell, Columbia and Penn too much in the transfer market for HYP to approve. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Five-for-Five Impact? Author: Bengal [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:51:57 04/28/26 Tue Why would H or Yale go along with P if they feel grad availability helps them? I forget the issue now, but Walters once told me he was outvoted 7-1 on a mattter of some, albeit lesser importance. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Five-for-Five Impact? Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:07:41 04/28/26 Tue Bengal, you have got to reach way back into the deep recesses of your brain to remember on what issue Walters was outvoted 7-1. There are a number of topics on which I would be honored to be outvoted by seven other Ivy League universities. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: My guess... Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:54:05 04/28/26 Tue ... Walters was the lone vote against implementing the Ivy League lacrosse tournaments. Can't imagine what else it would have been? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:36:28 04/28/26 Tue If Walters voted against the first Ivy League postseason in-conference tournament -- that of men's lacrosse -- which was proposed by his own coach Bill Tierney, that would certainly be one reason why the latter decamped for Denver.

It may have had to do with how the AI was applied, team by team or across the entire recruited class of athletes outside of football. I just can’t remember. I do remember him telling me we took fewer recruits than the League rules permit. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

So instead of those Princeton basketball players sitting out then going somewhere else, they could play 4 full years and still have another year to play elsewhere. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Who Does This Help? Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:11:46 04/28/26 Tue Excellent point, Ivy Ivy. Right now, the outbound transfer portal acts as a sort of restrictor plate on the most aggressive recruiters in the Ivy League, most specifically Tommy Amaker. He recruits better players than the other Ivies, then loses them when they turn out to be just as good as advertised. This will help Amaker somewhat, as he can now pitch the "Harvard for four, Big Ten or ACC for one" plan. The real benefit will be for James Jones and Mitch Henderson, maybe Brett McConnell if he was the assistant who reeled in Tosan, Lee and Pierce. Yale and Princeton have had the problem where guys come in, develop and then become much BETTER than advertised. They leave for Michigan and Florida. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
