In response to Columbia 37P6
I believe the rule (which may be an NCAA rule) on who can attend is based on when an accepted student becomes a full time student ... some schools that happens at the summer classes before freshman year, some it does not happen until 1st day of class in September ... since no all freshman can go, it was determined pre fax machine, that since it would be unfair to some schools, then none can go.
To me this is one of the myopic Ivy decisions .. each school has +/- and for many student-athletes this may be their first trip outside the U.S. Why does the harm to the institutions whose freshman may not attend, out weight the harm to all the student-athletes who do benefit from a foreign trip?
