    In response to Go Green

GoGreen has provided an insightful overview on the state of Dartmouth athletics. While I believe Harry Sheehy does warrant at least one more year as the AD, I would add a two data points to include in a review of his relative success. First, in terms of comparing Harry Sheehy’s tenure as the current athletic director over the past 6 years, Dartmouth has experienced some decline relative to the other Ivy school’s sports programs. During Sheehy’s tenure, Dartmouth has only finished 7th out of the 8 Ivy League schools in number of Ivy championship titles (only ahead of Brown). He has averaged less than 2 Ivy championship titles per annum for the 35 Ivy sports (18 mens and 17 women’s sports team championships), which is less than the two prior Dartmouth ADs. Josie Harper averaged 3 Ivy titles for her 7 years as AD and Richard Jaeger averaged 4 Ivy titles during his 11 years as AD. Second, the two Ivy titles in women’s rugby should take into account that there are only three Ivy schools that have committed the resources to make women’s rugby as a varsity sport (Dartmouth, Harvard and Brown). The other 5 Ivy school elect to maintain women’s rugby as a club sport with very limited support provided to their club teams. Thus, Dartmouth effectively only has to compete with Harvard and Brown for an Ivy title in this sport. This is the reason rugby is not included on the Ivy League Sports website that tracks Ivy championships by sport.
