Lindsay Scherf & Mellisa Grelli transfer to Oregon!!!

So I can infer that the answer that I was looking for is that she graduated from Harvard but had eligibility remaining. Oregon offered her some cash to do her grad work there and continue to run and train with a pretty good program. That would make sense. How much eligibility does hse have left and in which sports?

Wrong, not reduced just not extended.

I repeat, there were no articles, including Ron Bellamy articles, from Portlad, or Eugene that predicted medals for Oregon athletes. Knock off the lying crap.

Yes there is a story...

Once you graduate from an Ivy, they dont allow you to continue your athletic career regardless if you have eligibility remainining.

That is why you always see Ivy leave graduate students transfer to a different program. For instance, Columbia sends the majority of their runners with remaining elegibility to Georgetown.

umm, I don't know if you have that completely right. Because two Columbia girls who went to Georgetown, Bontz and Hendrick, both were grad students there.. so pretty sure they graduated, didn't transfer. I've heard different things about Ivy redshirting.. that it's not allowed, that it is allowed but they don't call it redshirting, that it just doesn't happen very often.. anybody know what the real deal is?

My point exactly. You have four years to compete at Ivy's. If you redshirt a season, they dont allow you to compete as a graduate student. Therrefore, the athletes "transfer" to another school to complete their graduate studies.

This is really very simple and i'm not sure why there is so much confusion.

1)The 5yrs is an NCAA rule, but the Ivys have stricter requiremnts and only allow 4yrs from when you start.

2) I the case of Scherf, she has one year of eligibility remaining similiar to willard. S

3) She competed in 2004/2005 as frosh, 2005/2006 as a soph, redshirted the 2006/2007 season, 2007/2008 as a junior and now will compete the 2008/2009 seasons as a redshirt senior (graduat student).

4) She has comleted 4-yeas of eligibility in the allowed 5-years, which requires no special excemption.

Again, which sport(s)?

In the Ivies athletes have no further eligibility once they've completed the requirements for their undergraduate degree.

She didn't compete in 07/08 because she was serving a 1 year drug suspension from Sept 21st 2007, she only competed for two years at Harvard, now she's graduated she can't compete in the Ivy League.

That's not exacly true. In 2007, she le Harvad to its first victory over Yale for the first time this decade as the Crimson’s top finisher in the two rivals’ annual cross country dual. Thereafter she didn' compete..

I think you mean East Africa since that is where the Rift Valley is located.

Although she ran in the HYP meet, once her drug suspension was announced the results of the meet were officially re-scored excluding her result. So officially she didn't lead Harvard over Yale.

touche.

And how exactly do you know that? If you go spreading rumors than at least quote your sources. That's lame and low.

Transfer to Oregon? The girl graduated from Harvard.

How many Harvard grads aren't going into ebanking?

Give her some credit for carving a decent path and taking her own route.

true.
