On the first day of the three-day "early signing period," a reminder that with the COVID exception still in effect, the Ivy League's "true" seniors are all eligible to return next fall – unless they graduate before then.
Only fifth-year seniors are ineligible to postpone graduation for a quarter or a semester in order to return. For Dartmouth, that means the only members of last year's team who by rule cannot return are fifth-year senior running back Zack Bair, tight end Joe Kramer, offensive linemen Luca Di Leo and Griff Lehman, defensive lineman Alex Schmidt and Bobby Jefferson, linebacker Joe Heffernan and corner Robert Crocket III.

It's the season of giving and the perfect opportunity for Dartmouth, Ivy League and FCS fans to help push the GoFundMe effort in support of Big Green offensive lineman Josh Balara '24, over the goal line.

With one final push the goal can be reached. To help out, visit the GoFundMe page HERE.

EXTRA POINT
Here in the BGA World Headquarters I count no fewer than five defunct old MacBook laptops (only one of which was actually mine). I'd really like to recycle them but everything I've ever read or seen online wisely recommends their drives be wiped clean before passing them on. The problem is that three of them won't boot up at all and a fourth will turn on but won't do anything else, which makes wiping their drives impossible. (The fifth is an old MacBook of mine that has a dead battery and so much cruft on it that it is 1990s-era slow, although I occasionally boot it up to pull something useful off the hard drive).
I'll eventually figure out what to do with the old laptops. In the meantime, I guess they don't take up that much space. '-)
