That is if you care about your degree. See Dean, Max. Also, those on the PSU forum will argue vociferously how a Penn State graduate is superior to an Ivy League graduate.

I *think* he's suggesting that Erik never actually got accepted at Cornell. Just because you are a great wrestler, you committed to Cornell, and are training at Spartan RTC, it doesn't mean you got accepted. Not every recruit gets accepted, despite what the Lehigh fans think. It may have nothing to do with academics, and everything to do with Cael and Penn State and "the room."

Hi, NJDan! How's that lawsuit coming? Got any Cornell lawyers yet, or are they all too busy litigating Yianni's loss?

Apostrophe's??

Hmm. This exact post was made on the cornellbigred.com forum, by a poster admitted to be NJDan on the old forum back in July: https://bigredbears.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=272 Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Is the whole team sick? As you said, after the first three matches, they looked dead.

You'd think someone would notice that the clock isn't moving on that match. Serious gas tanks on those two!

I can't get Flo Arena to load any content at the moment... 502 Bad Gateway

I don't know which, if any, of Cornell's 2022 schedule Yianni is doing. My response was to whether that 2kg would have any impact on wrestlers' decisions. Without the 2kg, Yianni would likely not do CKLV, right? Doesn't mean he will be doing CKLV, of course. I've got to believe that he *will* be in NOLA the following week, and that 2kg might have made a difference.

If Yianni had to make 65kg on 12/10, he probably wouldn't be doing the WC, CKLV the week before, and the Collegiate National Duals the week after, unless he really felt comfortable wrestling "under weight" in folkstyle. Something would have to give, I would guess.

Was Askren joking when he said on Flo today that Sinclair was getting a knee replacement?

Cornell match notes posted on cornellbigred.com: 125 Brett Ungar (3-2) 133 #3 Vito Arujau (0-0) 141 #21 Vince Cornella (5-0) 149 #1 Yianni Diakomihalis (0-0) 157 Gage McClenahan (3-0) or Cole Handlovic (2-2) 165 #8 Julian Ramirez (4-1) 174 #9 Chris Foca (4-0) 184 #7 Jonathan Loew (4-0) 197 #20 Jacob Cardenas (0-0) #9 Lewis Fernandes (1-0) (next month, hopefully, for Yapoujian at 157)

Coach Grey just indicated in email that Cardenas will be there, and his brief discussion of Fernandes didn't mention any injury. No mention of Vito/Yianni/Yapoujian. Gonna be a great dual.

Forrest is a generational talent, despite his age.

You know where you might be able to get them?

Two things about Flo's review: From this weekend, it appears that Brett Ungar will be at 125 going forward: he majored LaJoie and nearly took out Jax Forrest; and Fernandes was limping a bit after his only match on Sunday, and didn't once throw boots in as is his modus operandi. They MFFed him (probably out of caution with his history of a bad knee) Ungar is an upgrade, and if Fernandes can't go, I don't know if they have another heavyweight (Furman is not enrolled this semester).

"grey shirting," I guess you mean. That thing that only Cornell is accused of abusing doing.

Did you read the article?

TIL that Meyer Shapiro, because he is from PA, pronounces his name "sha-PY-roh" (instead of the everywhere-else "sha-PEE-roh"). That's gonna throw off some announcers over the next five years.

We'll learn even more a week later, perhaps.

Lock Haven, Lehigh, whatevs.

No Ivy League athlete gets five years of Ivy League eligibility. Period. The only graduate students who were allowed to compete were those who were enrolled as seniors when all Ivy League competition was cancelled and who were accepted as graduate students at the same institution. They didn't get five years of Ivy eligibility. Enrolled uses up a year of eligibility. They made a one year exception as noted above.

157.

You are correct! 165: #16 John Jay Chavez (C) won by fall over Noah Grover (UB), 3:40 I love the crowd that, for just a moment, thought Grover was going huge. Unfortunately, they were right.

Piling on: did you read the article? There was a one year exception, which allowed *seniors* that year to compete *only the following year and only at that institution* as graduate students. As the article indicated, this decision came too late for most seniors. At Princeton, it came after the deadline for applying to Princeton graduate schools, and Princeton refused to change the deadline to accommodate these students. One Cornell student (Adam Santoro) took advantage of that. Any Ivy athlete with *NCAA* eligibility left at graduation is and always has been free to transfer outside the Ivy League and compete as a graduate student eslewhere (see Patrick Brucki graduating from Princeton and competing for Michigan).
