The local Valley News has a piece that includes this from lawyer Arthur Bryant, whose firm was brought on by the affected teams to look into Title IX issues (LINK):
“They screwed up royally,” Bryant said in a Friday phone call.
Dartmouth will reimburse his firm over $100,000 in legal fees as part of the settlement agreement.
“This is simple math,” Bryant said. “How Dartmouth could screw up the numbers and think it was in compliance with Title IX when it wasn’t is beyond me.”
Former golf coach Rich Parker, a Lebanon native, told his hometown paper:
“My phone is ringing off the hook — all of my former players, all of my friends — so emotionally it’s really tough. When you don’t do anything wrong and you lose your job and your life gets turned upside-down ... you’re almost 65 years old, what do you do? Where do you go? It’s been hard with our family; I have two kids in college. It’s been emotional today.”

EXTRA POINT
It was 2 degrees and a howling wind made it feel a lot colder when I set off on my daily hike up the mountain yesterday – but I returned to a touch of spring. Here's another look at the "cascading petunias" planted in our AeroGarden on Nov. 1. The flowers exist on about a pint of water a day and two small caps full of plant food every couple of weeks. I'm not sure how long they will last but they are a reminder that warmer weather awaits.
