Harvard Crimson 2012-2013

Re: Harvard Crimson 2012-2013

Jimmy Vesey's brother Nolan commits to Maine for 2014. Hopefully Harvard and Maine can schedule each other.

We've been missing out on a bunch of younger brothers recently. Kroshus, Starrett and now Vesey, correct? Am I missing anyone?

Does anyone have insights into whether McNally & the others will be able to play this season?

I see no reason why not. Plenty of athletes have withdrawn from the school for a year under similar circumstances (just not all at the same time) and been on the roster the following year.

Edit: Although I guess it's slightly different in that at least a few of them withdrew during the season so I guess the Ivy League could have some kind of dumb rule against them returning.

Second Edit: This is the quote WaP was talking about:

According to the Harvard Department of Athletics Student-Athlete handbook, a student who takes a leave of absence after attending a class cannot return to the field until well after he or she has returned to school.

“In nearly all circumstances, you will be ineligible to compete in the first year you return to Harvard,” the handbook reads.

The handbook attributes this rule to the NCAA’s progress-toward-degree requirements, which demand that every student-athlete complete a certain number of courses in the previous semester and reach certain checkpoints on the way to fulfilling graduation requirements.

If a student intends to take a leave of absence, the Ivy League requires an academic adviser to certify that “the student appropriately considered academic and career goals when choosing this enrollment pattern, that the decision was in the student’s interest regardless of athletics participation, and was made by the student, without pressure to do so from a coach or other athletics department staff member,” according to an email from Ivy League Associate Director for Communications Scottie Rodgers.

I wonder if summer courses could make up for the lack of progress toward degree. The problem as I take it is they played in the fall but on paper attended no classes because they withdrew from them all as part of the university's punishment. Maybe this is why Harvard hasn't announced the incoming class? They might be waiting to see if they get these guys back or if they need to bring in some of the guys that were planning to defer to next season?

This has been coming down the pipe but it's now official: The Ivy League is offering an all-Ivy digital "TV" package. 12-month league wide pass at $96, school specific year pass at $72 until Aug. 21, then price goes up.

The League-wide pass includes everything the network has to offer from live home and selected away games in HD across a variety of sports, including football, men's and women's basketball and men's and women's ice hockey, as well as on-demand programming and additional premium content not available anywhere else.

Each of the conference's eight schools will have their own individual channel, featuring live and on-demand video and audio content from home and away contests across a variety of sports. The Ivy League will have its own League-wide channel featuring all available digital content across the conference.

Powered by NeuLion, the completely redesigned, nine-channel network will include an easy-to-navigate interface with a League-wide network schedule and new interactive touch points to showcase the expanded content offerings available on computer, mobile and tablet devices all without the use of an app.

I would presume that the cost would most likely only include in conference games. Being a season ticket holder It would probably be less expensive in the long run to order away games on a per game basis based on my own viewing schedule. The on demand feature is nice though. And no, I did not post here to get my national championship signature in a Harvard thread, but I will admit that it looks good! Thanks for the heads up.

Every home game is being broadcast on this, so I'll get the home games vs. Bentley, BC, etc. As for road games, those seem to be only Ivy games for right now (although road games have only been confirmed for football, and men's and women's basketball at the moment.) In addition, supposedly the package includes the possibility of non-conference road games but the hosting team needs to use NeuLion for their streams and needs to give the feed to the Ivy League. Not ideal (though better than we were getting) and for me, I'll watch multiple sports plus won't be around Cambridge for too many games so it is probably worth it.
 
Re: Harvard Crimson 2012-2013

I guess the best thing you can say about the roster as it stands now is that Vesey and Hart are back (I was concerned they would jump ship) and that we have depth at all positions to withstand injury (or, cough here, anything else that might come up).

We need to give Raffi some games off this season so he is fresh down the stretch. Also looking forward to seeing the freshmen. This class and next year's look to be pretty good yes?

Hopefully this is the start of a turnaround towards winning a NC. I have to now retract my statements about the Ivies splitting off from theECAC after Yale's performance last season. Time for Harvard to step it up and go deep in the NCAAs. We've waited long enough.
