Cramer, who has already done work through the program at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard Business School and Stanford Graduate School of Business, has added the Kellog School of Management at Northwestern University to his resume this offseason according to this story.

Ted Leland, whose first position as an athletic director was at Dartmouth and later served as AD at Stanford, is this year's winner of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA)/NIT Athletics Directors Award. From the NCAA website: "Created in 1981-82, the NACDA/NIT Award is presented annually to an individual who contributed to the sport of basketball and the National Invitation Tournament."

Leland is currently vice president for university advancement at the University of the Pacific.

Leland and former Dartmouth running back/football coach Jake Crouthamel have been chosen for the NACDA Hall of Fame according to this release. Crouthamel, of course, was the longtime director of athletics at Syracuse. Also among the eight to be inducted into the hall this year is Frank Broyles of Arkansas.
