Jeez! If this means Dartmouth hoopsters will not be playing, this is going to mess up the March brackets something awful.

Am sympathetic to the Dartmouth players especially if they help push the Ivies towards athletic scholarships.  We can make all sorts of moral arguments for and against them within the ivies but all 8 schools keep pumping up the yearly fees by 4% or so.  Moral argument aside I am in favor of Ivy athletes getting additional financial aid in light of the increased costs.  I find it hard to justify a young man playing hockey at Cornell for example with the family potentially paying full pay of $85,000 or so.

I have to say, Dartmouth is the last Ivy whose students I'd expect to unionize.

They have the most vocal douchebags, but those are an incel minority there as on every other campus.

I feel like that could be a Dartmouth motto: "We have the most vocal douchebags".
