The 2014 Ivy Schedules

Back on Feb. 12 BGA posted the 2013 schedules for all the Ivy League teams. In the 2014 season there will be the usual non-league opponents with a few interesting additions, the most interesting of which is Army's Sept. 27 game at Yale. The game was arranged as part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Yale Bowl.

Also in 2014, Dartmouth renews acquaintances with New Hampshire on the Seacoast to help fulfill an early contract obligation and kicks off the season with another new NEC opponent in Central Connecticut. ... Penn plays host to Jacksonville in what might be the front end of a home-and-home, and Princeton travels to San Diego before hosting Davidson.

With last night's 4-1 loss to No. 1 Quinnipiac last night the Dartmouth men's ice hockey team learned its playoff fate – and it will be a fun one. The Big Green (13-11-5 overall, 9-9-4 ECAC) finished fifth in the league standings and will play host to Harvard (12th in the ECAC) starting Friday in the best-of-three series. Dartmouth was 1-0-1 this season against the Crimson (9-17-3, 6-14-2).

The women's hockey season, meanwhile, ended with a loss to Harvard in the first round of the playoffs.
Worth noting is the Dartmouth baseball team following Friday's win over Minnesota with a 1-0 victory over Northern Illinois in the Metrodome. The Big Green finishes play in the Dairy Queen Classic with a matinee today against Utah.
And finally this from The Dartmouth, starting with the bad news:
Dartmouth’s tuition, room, board and other fees will rise by 3.8 percent to $60,201 in the 2013-14 school year, the Board of Trustees announced on Saturday.
The good news, if there is any:
The rise in tuition marks the lowest percent increase in undergraduate costs at Dartmouth in over 10 years.
The somewhat unbelievable news:
Dartmouth now holds the highest tuition in the Ivy League and continues to be the second most expensive Ivy school overall behind Columbia University, pending tuition change announcements from the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, Columbia, Yale University and Harvard University.
Green Alert Take: Remember the poll last week about whether Patriot League football scholarships would mean the Ivy's sister league would start picking off would-be Ivy players? You would be hard-pressed to find a Dartmouth student who is enjoying his or her experience more that That Certain Hanover High Grad or who loves the school more. Let me make this clear: She absolutely LOVES everything about Dartmouth. But she's a a good kid who fully understands the huge toll paying for two kids in college is doing to her family's finances. And so when I asked her what she would do if she were a football player who had the choice of an Ivy with her current financial aid package or taking a scholarship at Colgate or Bucknell (the two PL schools that were in her mix) she never hesitated. She said she would have gone Patriot.
