One day left until the start of spring practice. BGA will be there and a full report will be posted on BGA Premium tomorrow evening.•
Bleacher Report has A Look at Ivy League Football Stadiums. There are a few factual errors (Memorial Field's capacity is 13,000 not 15,600, and the track was a fixture in the stadium long before the FieldTurf was installed) but it's a nice primer for newcomers to the Ivy scene.•
The Sports Network has a conference-by-conference breakdown of next fall's FCS matchups against FBS schools (Division IAA vs. Division IA in the old nomenclature.)

Army 39, Yale 13, Oct. 5, 1996
Army 21, Harvard 20, Sept. 28, 1991
Stanford 56, Cornell 6, Nov. 12, 1991

And finally, a tip of the cap to the Dartmouth baseball team. The Big Green stretched its longest-in-the-nation home winning streak to 28 games before a final-inning rally came up just short and Columbia held on to win the first game of yesterday's twinbill, 4-3. The Big Green bounced back in the nightcap to win, 11-3, and woke up this morning at its usual spot atop the Red Rolfe Division standings. Dartmouth is now an astonishing 47-6 all-time on Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park.
