Earl was a great coach at Cornell and I see this as a perfect time for him to leave. In the past couple of years, it has been grad transfers who leave but that is likely to change with the NIL money. I would not be surprised to start seeing freshmen leaving after a good season which would have been unheard of 5 years ago. I think that W&M and the Ivies are roughly comparable. So let's say a talented player with the grades is choosing between Cornell and W&M. I love Cornell but full scholarship+Alston+NIL. First-class travel and perks and a nice bank account at graduation. Seems like an easy decision to me if I was a player. Best of luck to Brian, he changed Cornell basketball and I will be rooting for him.
