Reggie Williams for NFL Commissioner?

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, former Dartmouth and Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Reggie Williams is among the early names being bandied about as a potential replacement for Paul Tagliabue as NFL Commissioner. Williams, currently vice president of planning and new development for Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex, told the newspaper:

"I'm pretty bullish about a lot of things. Certainly, if anyone in the NFL wants to further delve into my qualifications, I would be open to dialogue."

The New York Giants have spoken to Brian Levy, agent for Jay Fiedler, about possibly bringing the former Dartmouth QB and Miami Dolphins starter back to the Meadowlands as Peyton Eli Manning's backup according to this story.

The University of Pennsylvania is making it easier for students whose families would struggle to afford an Ivy League education. Students whose family income is less than $50,000 will be able to attend the Philadelphia school without taking out a loan.

Among the Dartmouth rugby players on a South America tour right now are Mike Ribero and Anthony Gargiulo, a couple of members of the All-Ivy League football team last fall.

Because there's enough work keeping up on recruiting for football I don't chase after recruiting info for other sports. Sometimes, however, it falls in my lap and deserves a nod. Such is the case with men's basketball recruit Elgin Fitgerald. When a big man coming to Dartmouth is honored as one of the five best players in his state, as Fitzgerald was in Colorado, it deserves a mention. Read about it and see a picture here.
