Tailgating for Marist Football https://goredfoxes.com/sports/2011/9/18/205274116.aspx

The following tailgating policy is in effect to ensure a safe and enjoyable tailgating experience for our fans. The Marist College Athletics Department encourages fans to arrive early, tailgate, and enjoy Marist football.

Tailgating Policy

Tailgating is limited to the McCann/Sheahan parking lot and is NOT permitted in the Donnelly parking lot. Tailgating spaces are limited. Chairs, tables, tents, etc. must be confined to a small area around your vehicle. Tailgating will only be permitted during pre-game and post-game. There is no re-entry since restroom facilities are now available inside the stadium.

All alcoholic beverages must be consumed from plastic/paper cups. No glass containers, cans, funnels or similar devices will be allowed. Kegs, drinking games and/or mass consumption of alcohol are prohibited. Underage drinking is not permitted; all local and state laws must be obeyed.

The Student Code of Conduct prohibits students from Tailgating at any time, even if they are over 21 years of age. Consumption of Alcohol and/or possession of an open container is not permitted on the grounds of the campus without prior approval of the Vice-President of Student Affairs.

All others are subject to rules and regulations set forth by Marist College. Violations of any of these policies will result in removal from the campus and a ban from the tailgating area.

Marist College reserves the right to restrict tailgating at its sole discretion.

Students can't tailgate? I do recall when our son toured Marist the student tour guides devoted a couple minutes to what could happen if you're caught drinking. On the plus side, when the Marist women made the basketball NCAAs a decade ago, Marist chartered a plane for the one-and-done and ten bucks, or something nominal, got a flight to the game, ground transportation, a ticket, and a Red Foxes tee. Probably so when the cameras panned the student section, there were Marist students to show.

a school with billions of endowment couldnt afford to hire a few people to do broadcasts for the radio..  or they wouldnt send the espn+ side to the radio stream

Has it really been that long since the last time we went over how endowments work?

I've been concerned in the past that eLynah doesn't have a sarcasm font. I'm coming to believe it's self-embedded.

The sarcasm font at eLynah is plain text.

Dartmouth made the NCAA top 20 polls circa 1970, maybe got as high as 15th. In D1 football.

Happy to be the setup guy. Good one, twice over.

I like to think I know how it works and what budgets can get used for this as part of the job.

But Marist's endowment must be worth billion$. Not a fair comparison.

Marist's 440 acres on the Hudson must count for some value. (Cornell has 745 acres in Ithaca.) Note also Marist has a Cornell Boathouse (and a Marist Boathouse).

Great article.  Thank you!

Cornell, the University of California, the University of Washington, and the University of Wisconsin each came to have boathouses on Regatta Row.

Wow!

Vintage footage.

Cornell 49.

If you want to get a feel for the atmosphere around the IRA in the 30s, read "the Boys in the Boat", by Daniel James Brown.  It's great story, even though Cornell only gets a few mentions.

Most of you probably know the history, but Wikipedia's article on Charles Courtney gives a thorough history of Cornell rowing up to 1920.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_E._Courtney The concluding section on his legacy points out how his influence is still felt today across college athletics.

From the article:

Fans were sometimes known to wager on the results.

This is quite possibly the funniest line I've read in any story this year.

I would imagine those flat beds full of students were essentially about three things, none of which were rowing.

When The Times can't get a fact sourced from two persons, it turns to droll humor.
