Transfer Season

How do they award scholarship guarantees that meet NCAA rules without the letter? I had always thought the letter was part of NCAA rules and couldn't be bypassed?

It is my understanding that they don't. I have a friend whose daughter was a swimmer good enough to get a scholarship pretty much anywhere. She chose Penn, and received no athletic scholarship of any kind, because they simply do not give them out.

Right, I said that, if no scholarship money is awarded there is no letter. I thought the NCAA required it whenever there is scholarship money is involved. Can't believe a D1 program wouldn't do any scholarships.

Ivy Leagues do not give any scholarship money at all- hence no need for NLI.

I guess that a number of the women's forum posters have not been on the men's forum much. This topic on the Ivy League has been bantered about a bit and the Ivy posters have repeatedly stated: The Ivy League only gives scholarship money based on need. No athletic scholarships are given. A few of posters on the men's side still question if this is really true. (roll eyes)

Pure Speculation as I have no idea.

Goalie room is potentially really crowded next year if Bench hangs around...

Don't think it's a D but...1 D's High School teammate is headed to the Big Red next year.

5 freshmen forwards coming in next year to a lineup that already had a couple of this years freshmen forwards not getting playing time. This seems likely were one or both would come from
 
Right for Ivy, no athletic money, no NLI. All you get is admitted, and that assumes an honorable coach who will not 'over commit' and then drop the players they don't want by claiming "oh sorry you did not make it through admissions". No NLI means no formal commitments from the school to a player. And of course assumes the coach is not on the take to use one of their 'slots' for a non-athlete.

This actually works both ways with women's hockey. Many women use hockey to help get into an Ivy league school then quit. You are paying anyway and if you are not a top player/getting ice time, why bother.

Isn’t it also true that Ivy League schools over recruit a bit as they’re not sure if every recruit will graduate HS with the grades and test scores to be admitted?
 
According to Mike McMahon of CHN, on the transfer portal (men's only??) there are currently 185 players wanting a new team. WOW.

And on the women's side Brent Cullaton tweeted that 10 players from the RITWHKY program are in the women's portal.

They have been accused by a number of non-Ivy fans of doing this. (wink wink)
 
(Is the "transfer" comment thread also the proper place for "super senior" decisions, etc?)

the Madison newspaper, Wisconsin State Journal and writer Todd Milewski, says Daryl Watts has confirmed she'll play next year unless she is "centralized" with the Canadian National team.

I would say such news warrants its own thread. It really isn't transfer related unless the player plans to do both -- transfer and play a "second" senior season.
