Some heavy hitters competing for this guy. He HAS to transfer, as the Ivy league prohibits graduate students from playing sports.
BTW, just another way to spell Sean/Shawn/Shaun/Shawon/Shean/Shon/Shonn/Schon.
Marquette also talked to him this week. Will be a tough get. Anyone know how many scholarships Michigan has? Be a shame to see them get him and Mike Edwards.

They have no seniors on this year's team and have not signed anyone for 2015 that I could find. Levert may go pro, so that would free up one if he leaves. Otherwise zero.........?

Was wondering about this "forced" angle - couldn't he simply delay graduation, take some more courses or pursue a second undergraduate major if he wanted to stay? Not saying it's not a better decision to graduate from an Ivy in four years, take some grad classes elsewhere and play for a team that could be tournament-bound, just seemed that the whole "only option" story seems to not be completely true, no?

Since you're talking an Ivy League rule, I guess that your only chance for an answer would be if a compliance officer from an Ivy League athletic department happens across this thread.

He missed a year with an injury. In the Ivy, you only have 4 years to compete rather than 5.

Ahh, so the Ivy has a no redshirt rule.

There's only different rules in hockey........

Then why can't Shonn Miller play
basketball at Cornell anymore?
The Ivy league does not allow redshirts. You have 4-years to play, that is all. It is the reason why some Ivy league schools bend the rules by having recruits spend a year at a local community college and still practice at the Ivy facilities. It is a defacto redshirt.
Ivy League? That wouldn't get him in UW. ::)

That's why he had to go to Cornell (Maryland of the Ivy League).

At this point, correct. But if they want Miller and Edwards, then they will find room for them.
I guess someone on Michigan's roster will have to be Beelined out.
Yeah, I know that's not how it's spelled.
From Michigan's web site. Pronunciation: "Bee-Line"

I guess we will just need to call up the wisconsin compliance director than seeing they are the closest ivy league school

Don't count on traditional media or message boards to get things correct on compliance issues.
It is most certainly possible to receive a medical hardship waiver for a season and compete four years over a five year period in the Ivy.

Are you saying that Shonn Miller is eligible to play for Cornell next year?

You can believe this, but you are wrong.
Good to hear we've reached out. Hopefully he steps foot on campus soon and realizes there are a lot of minutes for him here as we go for the NCAA tournament next year.
Also: he would get a nice trip to Italy, which can't hurt.

I am saying exactly what I said.
As for Miller, his sitting out a year appeared - from a distance - a decision and not a result of being incapable of competing. If my take is accurate, he wouldn't meet the medical hardship waiver requirements of the NCAA (which are also used by the Ivy League).
