Katie Rainsberger, Lilli Burdon Others Not On Oregon's 2018 Roster

I definitely agree. She definitely had a change in attitude once Emma came along. She seems to not be as serious about running. I mean now she takes her phone on runs and seems to be much slower.

Who is Emma Abrahamson?

Where did Tanner Anderson go? He was getting good at UO. Spokane guy, is he headed to Gonzaga, UW, WSU?

The UW/UO dynamic is going to be fascinating this next year. After 45+ years running, coaching and spectating the PNW scene, I am genuinely excited to see the changes.

Fo once I can cheer on the Huskies with a clear conscience that they aren't led by an a******

Will all the Huskies from last season be returning, other than those who've graduated? Or is there less room now with the Ducks migrating?

Harvard has a financial aid calculator on their website where you can get an idea of how much scholarship a student is eligible for.https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/net-price-calculator A family of 3 from NY with a $100k in total income can get up to $62,320 in scholarship, leaving the student with paying only about $9.6k. Test it out. Harvard revamped their financial aid calculations around 2010 so it's more consistent/competitive with the other Ivy League schools. And in the meantime, I think part of the reason why Judy may not be competing in 2018-19 school year because it is her 2nd transfer and per NCAA rules, she needs to sit out a year, as she already used her transfer exemption when she transfered from Harvard to Oregon.

One-time transfer exception: If you transfer from a four-year school, you may be immediately eligible to compete at your new school if you meet ALL the following conditions:

You are transferring to a Division II or III school, or you are transferring to a Division I school in any sport other than baseball, men's or women's basketball, football (Football Bowl Subdivision) or men’s ice hockey. If you are transferring to a Division I school for any of the previously-listed sports, you may be eligible to compete immediately if you were not recruited by your original school and you have never received an athletics scholarship.

You are academically and athletically eligible at your previous four-year school.

You receive a transfer-release agreement from your previous four-year school.

Now use stats for the typical LR poster. 50 year old couple with 2 kids. Engineer and school teacher making $200k. $600k 401k, $150k equity, $350k mutual funds, $50k savings. That’s Judy.

Riiight... I don't believe those stats for the "typical LR poster".

Here's the most hilarious part of this whole conversation about Katie & Lilli--they're not even the biggest fish the new Husky regime is getting.

Word on the street is that 2-time NCAA pole vault champ Olivia Gruver is reportedly transferring to THE University of Washington from Kentucky.

Are you being serious? No track athlete should ever be on a run- easy or not- with their freaking phone. I hope you're joking.

Some may read this quote above as sarcasm, but this is exactly the scenario of a national class kid from a part of the country where the median home price is just barely south of $900K. People may think well they must be rich then they can afford it! Only if they pull money out of their house or retirement. Most financially literate middle class Americans won't set themselves back that far for their kid to go to Harvard. I don't blame them. Harvard offers this family $0 to be sure. Remember $200K goes quick when your home is $900K and you're also being diligent about saving for your future. Setting aside $300-400K for one child to go to school is unreasonable for all but the legitimately wealthy. Thus what you get is a lot of really rich kids going to Harvard mixed in with some lower middle class and poverty stricken kids to paint a rosy picture.

True. My super model wife earns much more than that.

Those numbers are low for a Naperville family. The average house costing $900k probably puts the average family well over $200k. How do you think a 50 year old couple earning $200k is a lot of money? Read the other thread about how many people hit $100k in their 30s and then marry a nice woman and $200k is in the rearview mirror. Some of you young guys who went to a D3 liberal arts college may be stuck in a crummy job, but the rest of us who attended our flagship D1 schools and majored in something real like engineering, are the typical middle aged LR poster. We are the ones that are bypassing the Ivies because we can’t justify $300k for college. We would rather give the money to the kids upon graduation so they can start life off debt free and with a nice home to boot.

First sentence: agree

Second sentence: according to Zillow the median home price in Naperville is $392k

All Ivy's now give generous aid to all, Harvard included. Income less than 60k = full aid.

250,000 + income = 0.

Everything between gets some aid.

Average Ivy aid = 42,000.00 per year.

No other colleges anywhere spend there endowments so generously.

Since this is LRC, let's just assume one of two things about Naperville dude:

1. Really didn't get any aid because actually is wealthy and can afford. (The mythical LRC "millionaires" who troll all day)

2. Never got accepted in the first place and are full of chit.

Being LRC, I'm betting on the second scenario.

You can make significantly less than $250K a year and get zero aid. It all depends on how much money you have in your house, savings and retirement. Harvard will ask you to take money from your house, savings and retirement to pay for school. Not just that, but if the student has any amount of savings, they also ask them to contribute! That is not a joke. The high schooler I coached who had a little under $10K in savings was told they could contribute about $2500 of their own money each year in addition to what their parents would be asked to be paid.

Harvard turns away most Asians because they are too smart and most middle class kids because they are too poor to afford it.

Dons to Ducks Plus +1 so far!!!

This debate makes its way into many threads here. You are correct that income is only one factor. If you are a middle-class family making close to $200k who intentionally chooses to have children later in life so that you can save a significant amount of money for college, you are in trouble with the Ivies. It is not difficult to put save $1M if you marry but prolong having children for 10 years and then save for an additional 18 years. The stock market does the rest. The Ivies then tell you that you can afford the full fare because you chose to live under your means for 28 years while your neighbors spent their Christmas vacations in Hawaii.
