Not much new but nice to have the coverage.

You should get a couple of freebies every month. CaribouJim you must have reached your limit ;-) You Wall Street type. ;-)

Nothing really new in the piece but positive international coverage. Bilas saying nice things about the league, second best conference in the country, round robin schedule, no immediate plans to expand. (I have trouble believing that if UConn is serioud about wanting in.)

Follow WSJ on Twitter and try to "borrow" one from the front desk of Marriott's (and USA Today) if I'm in the vicinity!

The best quote is from Bilas: “The Big East is still a league, it’s a conference,” Bilas said. “The ACC and some of these other quote-unquote leagues are really just media-rights consortiums.”
