Recruiting Redux

The full Green Alert early decision football recruiting story is now available to non-subscribers on the official Dartmouth sports information football site here.

Dartmouth also has posted a story on linebacker Justin Cottrell being named an FCS All-American by the Sports Network. Find that mention here.

Missed this in the fall, but for a picture of Dartmouth grad Casey Cramer and fellow Tennessee Titan David Givens visiting a hospital as part of the "Titans Tuesday," initiative, click here.

Today's Daily Dartmouth has a story about Ben True, the Dartmouth track and cross country skiing standout taking the fall and winter off to train fulltime for skiing. What the story doesn't delve into is what the time off means with regard to the four-minute miler's future eligibility in his two sports. I really don't know the rules but have always found the differences between what is allowed in various NCAA sports -- like playing junior hockey for a couple of years before attending college or skiers spending time on the national circuit during their time in school -- to be curious. About all I know is the rules seem to be a lot tighter with regard to football and basketball. I can understand why, but wonder about the fairness of that.

And finally, the Daily Dartmouth has a story suggesting the possibility that the Association of Alumni’s lawsuit against Dartmouth could be dismissed today. Yawn.
