Are Cornell Wrestlers on Scholarship?
The easy answer is no. Cornell student-athletes are
awarded need-based financial aid, just as any other
student who applies to the school. That package can
come in the form of student loans and grants. The basic
intent of the original Ivy League agreement of 1954
was to improve and foster intercollegiate athletics while
keeping the emphasis on such competition in harmony
with the educational purpose of the institutions. The Ivy
League is nationally recognized for its level of success
— absent of athletic scholarships — while rigorously
maintaining its self-imposed high academic standards.
The Ivy League has demonstrated a rare willingness and
ability, given the current national pressures on intercollegiate
success, to abide by these rules and still compete
successfully in Division I athletics.
Practice Interviews/Coverage
All interviews with Coach Rob Koll and players must
be requested in advance through the Athletic Communications
Office. The coach and players are available
for interviews before practices by appointment only, so
as not to interfere with academic or practice schedules.
Postgame Interviews
Coach Rob Koll and selected players will be available
after each match. The Big Red locker room is closed.
Radio
All of the Big Red’s games in 2015-16 are carried live on
1160 ESPN Radio in the Ithaca area and on the internet
at www.ESPNIthaca.com. Keith Raad takes over for his
first season in the play-by-play chair.
