Cornell announced that due to Princeton's exam schedule, the Ivy League opener between the Big Red and the Tigers would be moved up two weeks.
This alteration is not unprecedented but it is also not common over recent seasons. The previous two times Princeton opened conference play before breaking for exams didn't work out well for the Tigers: Swept at Columbia and Cornell in 2007 and a split with Cornell and Columbia at Jadwin in 2006. Prior to that the orange and black bested both Harvard and Dartmouth on the road in January 2002.
Both Northwestern and Richmond have released their full 2011-12 schedules. Spiders head coach Chris Mooney was a recent guest at the Robins School of Business.

Will Venable was mired in a 1-17 slump before hitting a home run (video) to lead off yesterday's game versus Colorado. The Padres still dropped their ninth straight, 5-4.
Now it looks like Judson Wallace does have his new passport in order and can sign with Barcelona? I'm so confused, and Google Translate isn't helping matters.

Princeton has issued a press release about the Tigers' participation in the Legends Classic.
A team comprised of John Rogers, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Northwestern alums Jitim Young and Tim Doyle won the National Hoop It Up 3-on-3 tournament last weekend.
The 2011-12 Tiger schedule has to be close to completion. Today it was announced Princeton will visit Florida State on December 30th, 2011. Last season the Seminoles advanced to the Sweet 16.
It will be the first meeting between the two schools since the 1998 Rainbow Classic, a 50-46 Tiger triumph.
Like they did last season, Princeton will participate in a convoluted Gazelle Group preseason tournament. The Tigers are one of 12 teams in the 2011 TicketCity Legends Classic.
Princeton shall play three games in a subregional pool at Bucknell right after Thanksgiving - versus the host Bison on Friday, November 25th, Morehead State on the afternoon of the 26th and Division II West Alabama on the afternoon of the 27th.
The other subregional pool is hosted by Rhode Island and includes Hofstra, Cleveland State and Boston University.
By process of elimination, one can deduce that of the four Legends Classic preliminary round host schools - Texas, Oregon State, Vanderbilt and NC State - Princeton is almost certain to play at the Wolfpack barring unexpected reconfigurations. UT and Vandy have already released their schedules and Oregon State is not expected to be welcoming Princeton to Corvallis.
Update: NC State has announced their schedule and as expected they'll host Princeton on November 16th.
Regardless of how these host schools perform in their Legends Classic home games, they all advance to the tournament semifinals at the Meadowlands' Izod Center.
In addition to this news, the Tigers will travel to Northeastern on December 18th, somewhere they have not played previously. Last season Princeton beat the Huskies on a neutral court on the first night of the UCF Holiday Classic, 65-63.
