Transfers-Plenty of Ivy

Let’s compare this to Mr Coleman. It had to hurt to not get the starting nod but he worked on his craft and when his number was called, he rose to the occasion. That’s tremendous leadership and great lessons for anyone. Life doesn’t always break your way but if you respond in the right ways it really improves your odds for long-term success.
 
My understanding is that we can have graduate players within our own school and also any transfers that come in as underclassman and continue in Grad school🏈🕷️🕸️

Ah gotcha. I was hoping there would be a change in the policy for bringing in graduate transfers from other schools.
 
I've been told it may be as early as this coming season.
We’ve been shut down from recruiting graduate transfers-

Per an assistant coach

“…
Thanks xxxx,unfortunately there is a rule in the patriot league where we are no longer allowed to take any graduate transfer.

Frustrating rule, so we won’t be able to take any IVY league grad transfers anymore…”

Could be possible that we aren’t allowed to do it for the 2025 football season but changes could happen for 2026 season. If PL is motivated to elevating its conference reputation in FCS then revising the graduate transfer policy to allow it has to be done.

It’s possible but highly unlikely that it will snow in Miami in August of 2025 as well.
 
Many of the Patriot League schools don't have grad programs of any note, so they'd seemingly be shooting themselves in the foot if they vote to approve grad transfers.

- Bucknell: Handful of programs including English M.A. with the rest being science degrees (mostly engineering). Cuts out a lot of possible athletes. They have a total of 46 graduate students.

- Colgate: Small program offering M.A. in Teaching. Individualized M.A. programs in English, geology, philosophy, psychology, or religion "can occaiosnally be arranged." They have a total of 15 graduate students.

- Fordham: Dozens of graduate programs across a range of disciplines. They have 5,800 graduate students.

- Georgetown: Dozens of graduate programs across a range of disciplines. They have 12,400 graduate students, more than their 8,000 undergrads.

- Holy Cross: No graduate programs.

- Lafayette: No graduate programs.

- Lehigh: Many graduate programs at certificate, master's, and PhD level, but mostly in science/engineering. They do have MBA and education programs. They have 1,779 graduate students.
