That list is growing shorter, unless Stanford reverses its decision regarding cutting 11 sports.

Talk about tedium: it's like Groundhog Day around here.
You can always go over to the Cornell Forum and join the debate on exactly how elite Max is (very) and exactly how old he is (five years out of HS, so 23 is a good guess). That never gets old.

Word is (not that surprisingly) that the promise of future fine employment trumps all other considerations. Which includes the Ivy network for the school.

I noticed that Penn has a bunch of NJ State Champions in their Class of '22.

Old? It's really tedious at this point, being discussed in two threads on the PSU forum, a thread on the Cornell forum, and another thread on the Mat forum.

At least it isn't the same thing being discussed for lo! these many years.

True enough. After all, in a year you could be speculating that Max is 24.

Just saw on the news crawl of FS2 that NCAA athletes have until June 1 to enter the transfer portal for the 2021-22 season. Beginning next year the date will shift to May 1.

All legal and more importantly ethical. There isn't one Ivy coach that wouldn't take full advantage of what coach Koll has taken advantage of were they in his position.

What all the Ivies conveniently ignore is the financial piece. "9.9 is for suckers, baby."
Have all the Ivy coaches gone on record that they would emulate Koll if they were in his position? Or is that speculation on your part?

To me, what Koll's doing is pretty unseemly and I'd be surprised if all the other Ivy coaches would be willing to act so unseemly. But what do I know?
