A story about former Dartmouth linebacker Macklin Ayers in Pennsylvania's Citizen-Standard includes this (LINK):
“The biggest thing is the opportunity to play in the NFL, and UMass gives me that,” Ayers said. “They were very transparent and said, ‘We’ll give you every opportunity and everything you need to get to that level, but it’s up to you.’”

Ayers said he is going to pursue a graduate certificate in commercial real estate.
“I did a couple of internships in commercial real estate that I really enjoyed,” Ayers said. “This will help me get my foot in the door some more.
“Plus, I’ll have a Dartmouth undergrad, which is really a blessing.”

The Stallions will open the season in Arlington, Texas against he Arlington Renegades on March 30 in a game to be broadcast nationally on FOX.
