Mary Boggs went in search of the alumni news from the big college championships weekend and came up with some nuggets:
• Former Yale coach Dan Ireland made his Atlantic 10 Conference Championships debut outside of Charlotte, N.C., and his Explorer women won the A-10 title. In the process, Coach Ireland was named the league’s Coach of the Year.
• Princeton graduate Mark Amirault, now running for the Virginia Cavaliers, called his third-place finish at the ACCs his “best cross country race ever.” Amirault finished the 8k race in Clemson, S.C., in just 23:10.8. He also added, “The race went by really fast today and the guys were getting after it … As a team, we could have had a better day, but we’ll be ready for regionals.”
• Cornell graduate Adrien Dannemiller earned second-team All-Big 10 status by taking 14th at the conference championships in Champaign, Ill. His Indiana Hoosiers had their best Big 10 Champs showing in more than 25 years.
• And finally, off the cross country trails, Harvard graduate Sean Barrett placed eighth at the Marine Corps Marathon, finishing the trek in 2:32:10. Last year he finished third in 2:24:08. Click here for results from the Washington Post.
• And then there’s this — After winning the Pac-12 Conference Championships, Colorado Coach Mark Wetmore was asked to grade his team’s performance and he opted to take a dig at Harvard, of all places. “I would give it an A and an A and that’s as high as I get. This isn’t Harvard,” he said. We respectfully agree.

That’s a bit tasteless don’t you think Brett? If you’re going to represent the Ivy League, do it with class.
It seems that you’re suggesting that CU is unlike Harvard because its male athletes allegedly sexually assault women. I think it’s important to note that women can be victimized by men at Ivies, too.

full comment doesn’t appear to be posting… anyway, every Ivy has made headlines with concerns about sexual misconduct, at times involving athletes. that’s all.

Yesterday I added the final item to this post as well as a link to a 2009 NPR story about the behavior of those associated with the athletic department at Colorado. What I was tried to convey was that the athletic department played a role in promoting bad behavior among its players and recruits, as evidenced by this ESPN story http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1738547.
I was not trying to make light of any kind of assault or allegations. Upon reflection, I understand that I left that open for interpretation. I apologize for doing so. I am aware that sexual assaults happen, most unfortunately, at every campus. I believe that one of the responsibilities of every person working in an athletic department is to work with student-athletes in addressing expectations, including respect for others, particularly how young men view and treat women. That isn’t done enough.
