Any one have a report on the Spring game played this past Friday?

Cornell won.
Saw a peppy and upbeat short video on the spring game. Even if there was reporting by a local newspaper, it would still be upbeat.

Looking at the Spring Game highlights it was good to see that WR Sam Musungu is back playing, after missing last year with a knee injury.
no ivy players drafted. haven't seen if any were signed as udfa. the draft has gotten increasingly weighted towards the big conferences as it's easier to score and poach transfers who grow or outperform their high school projections.

Not drafted or udfa, but a few are camp invites.
Cornell will not have a televised game this season, the same with Princeton.
QuoteThe Ivy League has announced its 2026 football television schedule on ESPN's linear networks, highlighted by six conference games.
The slate opens on Friday, September 25, when Harvard travels to Brown in a matchup that was previously moved up one day from its original Saturday date. ESPN2 will televise the game live at 7:00pm ET from Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket, R.I.
Two weeks later, on Saturday, October 10, Dartmouth visits Yale in a noon ET kickoff on ESPNU.
Three additional Ivy League contests have been shifted to Friday nights for television: Columbia at Penn on October 16, Yale at Penn on October 23, and Harvard at Dartmouth on October 30. All three games will air on ESPNU.
ESPN's Ivy League coverage concludes on Saturday, November 21, with the 142nd playing of The Game, as Harvard hosts Yale at historic Fenway Park in Boston. Kickoff is set for 3:30pm ET on ESPNU.
Cornell and Princeton are the only Ivy League programs that will not appear on an ESPN linear network this season, ending a streak of seven consecutive years in which all eight teams made at least one such appearance.
Winning a FCS tournament game sure did help Yale.

That's quite an accolade. He's a terrific player.
Cornell is surprisingly picked to tie with Princeton for fifth place in the Ivy League preseason poll (https://ivyleague.com/news/2026/8/3/yale-voted-preseason-ivy-football-favorite.aspx), with Brown just one point behind. There's a huge gap between the top half and the bottom half of the league. Yale is the heavy favorite to win the title.
I can't remember the last time Cornell was picked this high.

low.
Cornell's 46 points is also 2 points above being projected in sole possession of next to last. It is also 36 years since our last (tied) Ivy League title.
