  1. ILR is Industrial & Labor Relations. AKA "Hotel School". The Ag school majority is due to 1) it's a bit easier to get into than the Arts College or Engineering, and 2) it's a little cheaper. That doesn't mean it necessarily has an easier course load, by any means.
  2. The school name on the diploma still matters. Cornell's roster has 14 in the Ag School, 5 in the Arts & Sciences, 5 in Engineering/CS, 3 in Architecture (including Foca and Cardenas), 3 in ILR, 3 in the Business School, and 1 in Human Ecology.
  3. There are a number of guys who greyshirted and never enrolled at Cornell. Not everyone who commits to Cornell and greyshirts actually gets admitted to Cornell, by the way. Can't speak for the situation of any particular wrestler. Dom had already graduated.
  4. I ran track at Cornell a long time ago, and I'd say nearly all the athletes I knew were there for the academics. I can't speak for the hockey team, though. Very, very few Ivy undergraduate wrestlers (and likely other athletes) transfer, even though there are a plethora of better programs with better coaches. IIRC, nobody followed Koll from Cornell to Stanford. I disagree with the idea that a degree from UNC is no different in most career paths than one from Cornell or Stanford. Merited or not, that's the way it is. You might consider the idea that recruits went to Cornell (when Koll was there) and Stanford (when Koll was there) because Koll helped get them into those schools, in addition to the idea that Koll had built a great program at Cornell and was likely to do the same at Stanford. I'm sure he'll do the same at UNC. We'll find out soon enough if current Stanford wrestlers or recruits follow him.
  5. Why would anyone smart enough to get into Princeton or Stanford wish to transfer? Was Koll the actual on-mat coach at Stanford, such that a wrestler at Stanford wouldn't progress as much in his training under the other Stanford coaches or Ayres himself? Why would Koll coming to UNC drive anyone away from UNC? When Koll left Cornell, a number of recruits followed him to Stanford (a school upgrade, for sure). Only one of those recruits (Cardenas) was likely going to break into the Cornell starting lineup, so those recruits made a smart choice. As fine an institution as, say, Iowa or Penn State is, each isn't exactly Stanford or Princeton.
  6. I’m sure the former Cornell recruits who switched to Stanford will jump at the chance to transfer to UNC. Snark aside, very few Ivy recruits ever transfer.
  7. On the one hand, all those Cornell commits probably feel shafted, and portal notwithstanding they aren’t going to get into an equivalent school. On the other hand, Koll got them into Stanford…
  8. Flo ranks Stanford's 2024 recruits as second only to PSU. That's not a guarantee that they'll actually be accepted, but still...
  9. It was possible because you are wrong. Dean didn't get a "free" year. HS senior greyshirt Cornell freshman Cornell sophomore Olympic RS (not enrolled) COVID (not enrolled) PSU junior PSU senior
  10. I have no inside information. They've all been out of high school a long, long time.
  11. He's a senior who has not graduated. He has one year of Ivy eligibility left, which he's taking this year at Cornell. Same for Fernandes (note spelling) and Foca. Loew is sitting out this semester so as to not graduate until after wrestling season (assuming he is planning on wrestling this year at all).
  12. Gee, why didn't I think of that?
  13. He is listed on the Cornell roster (recently updated to include incoming freshmen) as a senior. That means that 1) he's enrolled, and 2) he has eligibility left. If he were to be graduating early, he wouldn't be on the roster. Same with Foca and Fernandes, as they all likely stayed in school during the COVID year (burning a year of Ivy eligibility, but not NCAA eligibility). Ramirez is listed as a junior (all four graduated HS the same year), which implies that he did not stay in school that year. I'm guessing this is for the following year, as he has two years of NCAA eligibility left. But the Cornell/Ivy situation is a mess all around...
  14. He's not a grad student.
  15. Odd, since Jacob Cardenas is a senior this year.
  16. Tell me you are NJ Dan without telling me you are NJ Dan. Did you see this post?
  17. Won't happen. Cornell already has tOSU (and NC State) on its schedule.
  18. Your user name is appropriate when talking about Shapiro. Does he have the most lethal ankle pick in the tournament (he had five TDs off of an ankle pick)? I can't recall him ever getting stuck underneath after his own shot. Did anyone notice that he's at least 3-4 inches taller than Yianni?
  19. Yeah, copyright infringement is the only issue here.
  20. What part of "It's not a matter of copyright infringement" was not clear enough for you?
  21. It's not a matter of being offended. Why does anyone think I was offended? It's not a matter of copyright infringement, either. It is a matter of doing the right thing. The point of their Terms of Service is to prevent the content, *that they worked to produce*, from being copied *to other sites* (apparently, nhs67 just doesn't understand that, and it really doesn't take an Ivy League degree to understand it). How much of Flo's content is it okay to copy and post elsewhere? All of it? Most of it? Some of it? How would the owners of this forum respond if someone who had a Rokfin subscription started copying their for-pay content into this not-for-pay forum, so that everyone could see it without providing any compensation?
  22. ***duck duck goose** off. Do whatever the ***duck duck goose** you want.
