The Ivy League this past year (2023) described football on broadcast/cable TV as a "long-term partnership with ESPN." 2023 was six games with Princeton aired 3X, Harvard 2X including Cornell, Yale 2X. The package goes back 15 years. Every team has been in the rotation the last 5. Nothing yet on 2024.

* And given our records in recent years, it could as well be the Battle of the Little Nells. Hopefully the slide has ended.

Coach Swanstrom's staff is now set, with 5 additions & several holdovers.  Looks intriguing.  Looking forward to next season!

Let me be the first to question the direction of the program under Swanstrom and call for his firing.

No offensive coordinator, but a passing game coordinator.  Apparently, as a former QB, Swanstrom is taking on play calling.

Correct.  Both Hatch and Reeder ran his offense at Ithaca as OC's when he left. Reeder was in the pressbox at Penn as Swanstrom called the plays, so that working relationship will continue.  Cornell's offense the last decade under Archer was disjointed to say the least, and the in-game adjustments were almost non-existent.  Glad he brought Penn's DB coach Eric Franklin with him, as pass defense was a problem the last few years as well.

We can only hope you're the first and last for many years.

I don't think we've mentioned it but Bill Lazor's son (a 6'5" QB) committed to play for Brown:

He wasn't heavily recruited.  Best I can tell, he only received one offer from Brown.  He played soccer for a few years before switching to football.

Not worth a new thread but former Cornellian Jalyx Hunt was drafted in the third round tonight. He finished his career with two years at... Houston Christian.

As was C Hunter Nourzad, in the fifth round. Transferred to Penn State as a graduate for his last two years of eligiblity.

Gosh, with 2 of our players drafted by the pros, it's remarkable that our record during their time here was so abysmal.
