Many will disagree but the Ivies got it right. You are there for your education. They refused to grant additional eligibility. Although many "scholar athletes" left, the Ivies did not care. In the Ivy League. your education comes first everything else is secondary. Again, many will not agree.
The whole Yale roster dropped out to keep the season, so did Cornell, Brown too. Don't kid yourself.
If my young adult was considering leaving an Ivy in their senior year to play lacrosse I'd say two things:
1) Good luck with those student loans, they're yours to keep
2) Don't think you're coming home to live with Mom and Dad when you can't get a job because that degree from Maryland means nothing compared to Yale, Brown or Cornell.
