Re: 2025 Season
When was the withdrawal announced? Was the team already on-site in NJ when sanctions were announced? On one hand, if there was a communicated policy from Cornell that their students should do no such thing, and if the students did such thing, then Cornell is merely following through on their promise. On the other hand, it's been a week and a half...so it feels especially punitive. Maybe it didn't come to light until just now? The team surely should have known that knowingly disobeying school rules would have some sort of consequence...
Re: 2025 Season
Every single team is drinking after sprints. To warrant disqualification from IRAs the behavior must have been egregious (or so I'd assume). Otherwise every team would miss IRAs every year.

Re: 2025 Season
I'm hearing it was more than just drinking, but it's complete hearsay. Also, if Cornell Athletics was responsible for this enforcement, then it is an internal matter to Cornell, and other teams' behavior is not relevant.
Re: 2025 Season
Sure it matters.....to every potential recruit out there looking to choose which university they want to row for.
Re: 2025 Season
100%
and yes, the word is drinking was not the main issue. There has been no official statement so I won't feed the rumor mill, but the word is it was much more serious.
But let's keep bashing Cornell and the AD because almost everyone else here knows better...

On a better note, MIT is in the final
Harvard 150 are he best technical crew of the IRA, light or heavy.
I feel for Columbia and Yale as they are out of the final a position they were used to being in

Re: 2025 Season
That was probably the best IRA final in years, right? New medalists, Harvard setting up a dynasty, love it. When did MIT last medal in an 8 at IRA?
I don’t know what was happening with wind race to race but Harvard dropping a time that would’ve won the heavy 1V is really something. Dartmouth would’ve been 4th, MIT 5th. Fast lightweights this year!

This footage was from 2023 - oops! But I suspect the margin would be not too different this year.frontsplash wrote: ↑Sun Jun 01, 2025 1:17 pmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU5bFgDw4HY The Harvard lights were barely slower than their heavy 1V in training pieces!
Re: 2025 Season
Has any program gone three years in a row without a loss?
