In response to bradley
For recruits, at least, I think the incentives may favor our league in COVID Times. Whether or not the league plays this year shouldn’t matter much to them. The extra year of eligibility for current players is going to create a backlog at the non-Ivy schools in terms of scholarships and (even if they expand the number of scholarships) playing time. At the Ivies, scholarships aren’t an issue, and the grad student rules mean that even more kids will likely play 3 seasons and then grad transfer. So there could be more playing time opportunities than usual at Ivies, and less everywhere else.
As far as current players are concerned, for better or worse if our league doesn’t play, they won’t be playing this year. So they will not get that extra 5th season unless we play. Transfer or not, they play four years. Players could be upset by this and leave, but the incentives aren’t there to transfer — it would be more of an emotional reaction to a perception of the situation.
