Green Alert Take: Can someone please explain to me how, days after Dartmouth defeated Princeton by a 31-7 score, the Tigers are ranked ahead of the Big Green? Kind of puts the whole Coaches Poll in question.

That's former Dartmouth quality control assistant Jennifer King, now on staff with the Washington Football Team, in the middle of the cover art for a new podcast introduced this way:
In the premiere episode of Earnin’ It: The NFL’s Forward Progress, host Sam Rapoport sits down with Commissioner Roger Goodell. They discuss the pipeline that’s bringing more women into NFL coaching and scouting positions, the evolution of The Women’s Forum, and the extreme measures they both took to land their first job with the league. Sam even manages to make the Commissioner cry.

An Associated Press story headlined, NCAA rewrites constitution, sets stage for transformation might have some Ivy League fans a little concerned reading thoughts like this (LINK):
A reshaping of Division I that will tackle revenue distribution, how rules are made and enforced, access to the most-high profile and lucrative NCAA events —- such as the men’s basketball tournament — and just how big the tent should be at the top of college sports.
From the story:
“There’s a huge gap in Division I with schools roughly with $175 million budgets and schools with $4 million budgets,” (West Virginia athletic director Shane) Lyons said. “A lot of times we’ve tried to legislate from an equality standpoint. Is there possibly a new division? Is there a Division Four? Do some schools break away and make a Division Four, and what is the membership requirement?”
#
Speaking of schools with different budgets . . . here's a look at the stadiums of the Pioneer Football League. It's the latest in a series of videos that try to be humorous. The comments are a little sophomoric but the videos do offer a one-stop look at the facilities are starting to host more Ivy League opponents. The contrast with Ivy League facilities is stark:
On Nov. 5, interim director of athletics and recreation Peter Roby sent a campus-wide email announcing that, due to gym users’ “non-compliance” with the College’s indoor mask mandate and “rude, inappropriate behavior” toward gym staff, Alumni Gym would once again be closed to regular gym users from Nov. 8 to Nov. 9. This closure of the College’s only gym open to non-varsity students, coupled with the recent suspension of at least one club athletics team due to mask non-compliance, has raised questions about inconsistencies in the College’s mask policies, which exempt varsity teams from wearing masks during practice and games.

EXTRA POINT
Old friend TigerBlog writes today, "Is there anybody at all out there who likes the first day after the clocks 'fall back?' " (LINK)
I'm not going to say I like it, but there are a couple of things I like about it. The first is that at least for a couple of weeks I can hike again in the morning without a headlamp before sitting down and pulling BGA Daily together. I'd actually shifted my hike to mid-day because it was pitch black even coming off the trail until the clock was turned back, and that was no fun.
There's something else I realized I like about it while listening to a Brave Little State podcast about Daylight Saving Time during yesterday morning's hike. In the summer when it is light until 9:30 p.m. in these parts I might be headed to bed just an hour or so after it gets dark. As of this week I might have five hours after sunset before I hit the sack. It's like "found money," except it's "found time."
Pretty weak, I know ;-
