From the Dartmouth football office:

Following up on the last two postings about Dartmouth's football results against Ivy League opponents since 2000, here are the Big Green results out-of-conference each year, in the order in which the games were played. Again, there's an interesting divide with a 4-25 record from 2000-09 and a 24-6 record from 2010-19.
Dartmouth will put a 16-game out-of-league winning streak on the line this fall with games at Valparaiso, against Sacred Heart and at New Hampshire.

Chestnut . . . the FCS spring leader in all-purpose yards per game (233) and touchdowns (10), is the first player with 150 rushing yards, 200 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in the first three games of a season since Georgia Southern quarterback Jayson Foster opened his 2007 Payton Award-winning campaign.
Dartmouth is slated to see Sacred Heart and Chestnut on Sept. 25.

The Patriot League has announced that its first conference championship football game will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network on April 17 at 2 p.m. (LINK)
The game will pit the winner of the North Division (Colgate, Fordham, Holy Cross) against the winner of the South Division (Bucknell, Lafayette, Lehigh).
The Division I Council provided a waiver allowing college athletes to participate in limited competition with other collegiate opponents without using a season of eligibility if their schools and or conferences cancel or suspend spring sport seasons.
Any competition must be limited to 30% of the legislated maximum and must end by the NCAA championship selection date.
Several individual schools and the entire Ivy League cancelled or severely curtailed all sports competition for the spring earlier this year. The decision of schools and/or conferences to cancel spring sport seasons was outside of the control of the student-athletes, Council members noted.
Green Alert Take: Beats me.
There’s a COVID-19 outbreak among the graduate students returning from spring break at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, and there’s concern that could grow when the rest of the student body returns next week.
More from the story:
The undergraduates are on break until March 28, and Hanover Town Manager Julia Griffin is concerned about the 1,500 students who will be coming back to the Upper Valley.
And . . .
Griffin said the Hanover and Upper Valley communities are still dealing with the COVID-19 surge that swamped the campus in late February, making close to more than 150 students ill with the virus, and sending close to 300 into either isolation or quarantine.
That surge was the result of four off-campus parties in which hundreds of students broke the town’s emergency ordinance prohibiting gatherings of more than 10 people.
That follows a November surge that took place after Dartmouth students violated the rules to have Halloween parties. The November surge saw several residents of assisted living facilities in the area die.

EXTRA POINT
Taking advantage of ridiculously low airfares an old friend was going to be in Hanover and emailed that he hoped we could get together. It would have been great to see him but I emailed back my apologies, writing, "I’m sticking close to home because – cliché alert – this close to the goal line I’m not going to spike the ball."
That really is a fitting analogy for the COVID/vaccine situation, although it always makes me smile when I turn on the news and hear someone say it who – another cliché alert – doesn't know whether a football is filled with air or stuffed with feathers.
