Why’d he drop out? Well, unlike the rest of the Division I schools, Ivy League schools don’t offer the option to redshirt a season. Not due to injury. Not due to hardship. Not at all. According to the Columbia Spectator, the heavily academics-focused conference expects its student-athletes to “use their four years of eligibility in their first four years as enrolled full-time students....
