The Boston Globe had a column spun out of the difficulty watching broadcasts of key Ivy League basketball games that includes this:The Ivy League football champion still does not participate in the Division 1-AA or Football Bowl Subdivision playoffs, because the season carries directly into finals, which would serve as an academic hindrance. So Harvard’s undefeated football team had to settle for just being an Ivy League champion.More from the column:
When ESPN wanted to show highlights of Dartmouth’s dramatic win over Yale that forced Saturday’s playoff game, it had to use the feed from the Ivy League Network. In an era in which high definition is the norm, analog telecasts are considered antiquated, and an Internet feed leads to the perception that the Ivy League would rather remain a well-kept secret.Ouch.
The piece ends with this shot at the Ivies:
The Ivy League definitely has conveyed that it has no interest in following the lead of its more popular counterparts. But it also can seek a better balance in feeding the increasing appetite of the college sports fan who truly has interest in this rather mysterious eight-school faction, but also promote those athletes who represent those schools to a bigger audience.
It’s time for the Ivy League to embrace its growing popularity while also remaining committed to its values. Both are entirely possible.

In a Chicago Tribune story about the Illinois basketball state semifinals there is this about a certain 6-foot-8, 2,000-point scorer headed to Dartmouth:Lake Forest's Evan Boudreaux has been the second-best player in the state this season.Boudreaux's brother, Chris, played a year of football at Dartmouth (bio) but it is his mom, Gail Koziara Boudreaux, who cast the biggest shadow in Hanover. She might still be the best woman basketball player in Ivy League history. She averaged 21.7 points and 18.4 rebounds in her career as a four-time first team All-Ivy League pick and three-time Ivy Player of the Year. She also was an All-America in the shot put. Check out this STORY about her.
