Click here to to read the El Paso Times story about Jim Darnell '77 being brought on to represent the Heisman Trophy winner. Darnell's law firm bio (Dartmouth College AB cum laude with honors) can be found here.
From the story:
Aggie ties may run deep in Texas but Darnell is a graduate of Southern Methodist University and Dartmouth College. Darnell has experience representing coaches and others in NCAA issues, including Tim Floyd, the men's basketball coach of the University of Texas at El Paso.Fox Sports has a bio capsule noting he defending Baylor against NCAA sanctions in the early 2000s.
Darnell is listed as a 6-foot-4, 220-pound sophomore end from Putnam City H.S., and Oklahoma City in the '74 media guide I just pulled off my bookshelf.

Today's issue of The Dartmouth has a story spun out of the Ivy League football media poll that features a few player quotes including this from quarterback Alex Park:“There are eight great teams in the Ivy League. We’re not going to look up at them as if they’re better than us. We’re a great team and we’re going to go in with an attitude.”Green Alert Take: OK, well, maybe not eight great teams, but you have to like the sentiment.
The D also has a story explaining part of the appeal of night football. Of course, the story would have you thinking Dartmouth has been loading up on home night date. Truth is you can count the number of Memorial Field night games the Big Green has played to date on two . . . fingers.
