From a story posted on Yahoo (LINK)
The transfer portal officially opened on Monday and hundreds of players have already entered looking for a new home and a fresh start. Here’s what Rivals national recruiting director Adam Gorney is hearing so far in this Portal Rumor Mill.
Wait for it . . .
"The three-star linebacker from Dartmouth was a stat stuffer this season with 30 tackles, five sacks, five pass breakups, and Mullen is getting significant interest now.
Memphis, Georgia Tech, Nevada, UAB and a host of MAC programs are reaching out to Mullen as he’s finalizing visits at this point."
The story has capsules on 17 players from FBS schools like Florida, Florida State, USC, Nebraska, UCLA, Arkansas and more. Mullen is one of just a few from the FCS, including former Harvard offensive lineman Austin Gentle.

And finally, The Times of India has a story headlined, MIT and Stanford: Why aren't these powerhouses part of the Ivy League? It starts fine (LINK):

The answer lies in geography. The Ivy League exclusively comprises schools located in the Northeastern United States. MIT, although situated in Cambridge, Massachusetts, falls outside this specific regional grouping. On the other hand, Stanford University is located on the West Coast in sunny California, far from the Northeast hub of the Ivy League.
Green Alert Take: Uh, MIT is outside this specific regional grouping?

EXTRA POINT
Yesterday's hike to the peak on my local mountain trail saw the valley below totally socked in. The first picture is the view on a clear day. The second I shot yesterday on a hike that, thanks to the snow, proved to be quite a workout ;-)
