True that's it's only Cornell, sometimes Princeton and a few random guys that pop up here and there, but it is a team trophy contender almost every year.
Other than Cornell and Princeton?
Maybe not, but they have three top 12 guys at this point so not out of the realm of possibility.
Here are the non-Ivy EIWA wrestlers ranked in the top 12:
To the best of my knowledge Ivy’s do not red shirt and also do not have athletic scholarships. Of course they do grey shirts and offer academic scholarships for athletes.
Close. If an athlete is enrolled, they are using their eligibility (so, no red shirt as used by non-Ivy schools). All scholarships are need-based (so, no athletic *or* academic scholarships). They, like all other schools (except maybe Bucknell?) allow athletes to defer enrollment ("grey shirt"), or take a year while not enrolled (as Ty Whalen of Princeton is doing this year). The other big difference is that the Ivy League does not allow grad students to compete; this causes two things: 1) some guys will not enroll in the fall to avoid graduating and losing their eligibility, and 2) some guys with remaining eligibility on graduation will transfer elsewhere.
Much better explanation, thanks! And the grad student part I missed is very important.
The Ivies have a Not Redshirt in name only. Usually the grayshirt involves taking transferrable classes at the local community college (which also has cheaper tuition).
