Cornell Plan
Re: Cornell Plan
The future seems to be on hold for the moment....so we fall back on old programming
With that being said....didn't be try non-need based aid prior to the 1991 endowments (not sure how the Board could have refused that...thank you generous alumni). I seem to remember non-need scholarships first going to a young man from Illinois and maybe another from Minnesota, although I can't remember their names. I don't think either contributed much due to injuries. This may have occurred early in the Likens years.

I think Rick Hartman and John Epperly were recipients of an "experimental" program in the mid '80s. Pat Sheehy of Illinois was recruited the same year but never competed for us; I seem to remember a knee injury. The following year we recruited Scott Hamilton from Missouri; he had a back injury that, as I recall, surgery worsened. Buzz Mieras of Minnesota enrolled the same year as Hamilton; redshirted as a frosh, 6-10-1 the next year, then injured.
We had a three-year stretch of injuries as bad as anything recent that really helped cripple the team in the late 80s and early 90s. Sheehy, Mieras, and Hamilton lost careers. Epperly, Joe Herrmann, Lane Pendleton, Derek Brophy, Solomon Fleckman, and Matt Ruppel all lost at least a year or a post-season. Our recruiting was not great at the time and we couldn't afford to lose that much talent.

11 champs in 18 yrs od Dr Lewis as president, 1964-1982 with most of those years Lehigh owning a bigadvantage dominating the private school market for the best wrestlers. Engineering dominance nice for prestige but very few LU star wrestlers majored in it in our best run '74-82. Like Toth.
