On Dartmouth-UNH

If you kept your ears open over the past few months, you heard a lot of whispers about the Dartmouth-New Hampshire football series. They are whispers no more.

Speaking at Wednesday's Rotary meeting, outgoing Dartmouth Athletic Director Josie Harper told the group that there are three games left on the contract between Dartmouth and UNH. One will be played this fall. The other two? They will be played, but not necessarily in 2010 and 2011 as orginally scheduled. Instead, they will be played at dates still to be determined.

UNH, by the way, is the latest football program to head up a bone marrow testing drive. Find a release here.

Curious which FCS players are headed to NFL camps? The College Sporting News has an exhaustive list here.

Harvard defensive back Andrew Berry is one of two recipients of the Division I Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association (FCS ADA) Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards. Along with South Dakota State quarterback Ryan Berry (no relation), he will receive a $5,000 postgraduate scholarship.

Want to be impressed? Check out this from the NACDA release, keeping in mind that Harvard's Berry was a three-time member of the All-Ivy League first team:

Andrew Berry is set to do something that is unprecedented at Harvard for a student-athlete - graduate in four years with both a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s degree in computer science.

Wow.

Red Rolfe Division champion Dartmouth will be playing host to Cornell Saturday in an Ivy League Championship Series baseball doubleheader. The Big Red won a Gehrig Division playoff against Princeton yesterday, 9-0. The games will be preceded by the Green-White scrimmage on Memorial Field at 10 a.m. (Dartmouth softball will also be playing the Big Red for the Ivy title, at Cornell.)

And finally, they probably won't be making these with Dartmouth colors and logo, which can only be described as a crying shame. From CNBC:

If you go to the big sports schools like Michigan, North Carolina and Texas, you’ll be able to buy a Snuggie with your school’s logo on it this Fall. The price will be $19.95 and will be sold on television, in drug stores and, in some cases, campus stores, according to Crystal Sims, director in non-apparel marketing of the Collegiate Licensing Company, the IMG firm that represents nearly 200 schools on licensing endeavors.
