Here's the graphic and the lede from a Dartmouth press release about Callie Brownson, left, and Jennifer King (LINK):
When the Washington Football Team and the Cleveland Browns hit the gridiron on Sunday, they will play in the first NFL regular-season game in which a female coach will be on both sidelines as a female officiates the contest. It just so happens that both coaches — Cleveland's Callie Brownson and Washington's Jennifer King — got their first full-time coaching experience at Dartmouth College under Buddy Teevens, the Robert L. Blackman Head Football Coach for the Big Green.

By rights the Ivy League should be entering Week 2 of the 2020 season with Harvard-Brown and Yale-Cornell kicking off the conference season. That the season has been postponed or canceled (pick one) gives the Ivy office a little more time to work on the football media guide, which was not updated for the 2019 season and seemed to have been abandoned.
Our of curiosity I checked out the link to the media guide to see if it had come back to life and here's a screen grab of what came up (arrow and circle are mine):
Green Alert Take: If it were me I'd take the page down and use the time I have this fall to research and update everything that I can so as to have the guide ready to go when the next season rolls around . . . whenever it is.

EXTRA POINT
Like the Ivy League office, I've got a little extra time on my hands this fall and I've spent a lot of it this week brush hogging our field. OK, that's not quite accurate. Real brush hogging is this, and that's not what I've been doing.
Now, if I had a big 'ol tractor like the guy in that link and could pull a mowing deck, that would be one thing. But I don't. I've got an electric riding mower, a weed whacker and a 38-inch grass shear and I'm using them all to cut down the yuck that took over the field this summer. I've got most of it cleared but I've been at it since Monday. The fellow we brought in to do an actual brush hogging last year? He finished in about two hours, meaning his hourly rate was considerably more than I've ever even dreamed of earning.
I'll be back out there today, sore, tired and hopefully finishing up the worst of it. Has it been worth it? Probably not, but like the folks in the Ivy office, I've got the time.
