Does the PL allow incoming grad transfers. I haven't noticed any in the past.

It does not. Theoretically a player might be able to play if he paid his own way but grad transfers can't get scholarships.

Not painful because we've known for a long time that Sestina couldn't return. In most cases, Bucknell - unlike other PL schools - won't allow a player to stay for a 5th year.

Interesting. Why not?

The Administration is not supportive of athletics. Will not allow a player to take a second major or do almost anything else to justify a fifth year academically. Bucknell essentially has only two grad programs - engineering and education - and unless a player majored in one of those areas, grad school is out. Some PL schools allow a player to take on a second major to stay a 5th year and complete eligibility. Bucknell won't do that.

I didn't realize that in addition to Sestina, Pat Andree of Lehigh is also looking to go high-major. Felt like he killed us often...

Apparently Tyler Scanlon has entered the transfer portal...
100% correct Majestic.

I was hoping he was just testing the waters, but it looks like he will have several options. Illinois may be ranked next year, so they look like the favorite if interest turns into an offer.

Sucks. Guess it’s the way of the world in the NCAA these days. Can’t fault these guys for looking out for themselves, hope it works out for Tyler.

I'd say it's a 99% chance Tyler is gone. I appreciate what he has done at BU and I'll keep an eye on what he does next year.

Why is Joe Jones still the coach? There is basically no upside anymore.

Scanlon to Belmont.
Head-scratcher.
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Florida were rumored or at least discussed at some point on the www.
They all made sense — higher level etc.
But Belmont? Senior team captain transfers to One NCAA appearance Belmont?
Would be interesting to know the inside scoop.
Wonder where Jordan Guest ends up— I think he’s going to be a good one.
Thanks for your reply!
That is definitely a good reason — the way the grad transfer rule is supposed to work. So now I can keep rooting for him! ?

I don't intend to come across as rude- but what is Belmont offering these days in graduate degrees that BU is not?

Good question. I wonder if that will ever be answered.
