In response to mrjames
Reading between the lines a bit and trying to make sense of Yale and Atkinson, there may be a difference between what the basketball staff encouraged and what the athletic department said and did. His reference to the “athletic department†may be pointing to such a distinction.
Also, even if it was highly unlikely that a season would happen, the simple fact of the continuing uncertainty did put the players in a tough spot. For the Yale guys who took a year off, they potentially could miss a 5th year of eligibility that everyone else in college basketball would get. Now at least all of the Ivy players are in the same boat. If it didn’t go down the way it did, only the Yale guys would lose the season. I can see how that choice could be highly frustrating, even if one side of the equation was a fairly remote possibility.
